Are these shelf stable or do they need refridgeration while unopened?

Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Ready-To-Drink bottles can be stored chilled or at room temperature until you are ready to use them. If planning to chill them in the refrigerator, we recommend to shake the product when at room temperature and then chill. When you are ready, just shake it again before drinking. We also recommend to avoid prolonged storage at excessive temperatures over 86°F. If you drink from the bottle it should be consumed within the hour for the freshest taste, greatest nutrient delivery and general food safety. If poured into a glass, please cover and refrigerate any left in the bottle and use within 24 hours after opening. If you have any further questions please give us a call at 1-800-289-7313, we're here M-F from 8AM-8PM.
