Hello John,

Gosh.. the jars I purchase do not say to eat within 48 hours.. nor when I made my own did those with recipe state either.

If the sauerkraut has friendly bacteria, generally only instructions I see is after opening has to be refrigerated. As once opened the "Fermentation" process stops and then the little critters need to stay cold to be able to live.

I generally eat one fork full a day... any more I spend too much time visiting the bathroom.

My ancestry is all German... I could eat the stuff all the time as I like it. But for reason stated above I do not.

Best to you,

Tim
