How should this be stored?

I store mine in the door of my fridge, I haven’t had a problem with it yet.

Does this contain any animal product or traces?

Hello, Thank you for your question, the answer is no to animal products. Many thanks

How should this be stored so it lasts? And how long does it last - the date on the picture says 05 2019, is this the manufacture date?

Date on the back is the best before date, but you must appreciate this is a photo before 2019, so if you received any product it would have a best before date in 2024 or 2025. Once opened store in a cupboard away from sunlight.

is it made with animal products or animal enzymes?

Hello, Thank you for your question, the answer is no to animal products. Many thanks
