Jam Filling is stored in 1kg aluminum doypack with a lid and can be preserved in an ambient environment. After opening, keep the products refrigerated at 4 degrees Celsius and use within a short time.

Why is Andros Asia’s Jam Filling packed in aluminum doypacks? Because aluminum doypacks are odorless, non-toxic, clean, and hygienic, shielding the product from the impact of the external environment (temperature, light) even during transportation, ensuring that the product’s color and taste are not changed.
