Tips & Warnings
You can buy soy milk off the shelf or from the refrigerator section of the grocery store. Soy milk off the shelf comes in a tightly sealed box, so it doesn't require refrigeration before opening and can last for a while before using it. Once you open it, however, it will require refrigeration. Soy milk obtained from the refrigerator section is highly perishable. It should be kept refrigerated at all times and used within a week of opening. The freshest taste is usually in refrigerated soy milk.
