I went shopping for unsalted chicken stock today. The only products available in the "unsalted" line were in cardboard containers. At home, I took the plastic top off the container and found that the seal under it has broken on the edges. The directions on the carton say to refrigerate after opening and to use the contents within 14 days. Being unsure if the product was safe, I took the carton back to the store. There was no problem getting a refund. However, the person at customer service probably has zero influence in the world of product safety.
I wonder if the plastic cap on these containers protects the stock even if the seal has broken.
