Not validated · no shelf life · not approved for room-temperature storage

This draft is not shelf-stable and has no validated use-by period. After preparation, portion into clean, shallow containers and refrigerate promptly; keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C). Do not leave prepared perishable food at room temperature longer than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F / 32°C). These are general food-handling precautions, not a recipe-specific shelf-life validation.
