Storage depends on the topper's format—always follow the package directions. Some toppers recommend refrigerating after opening, while others specify keeping the product in a cool, dry place. Check the label for the manufacturer's storage instructions.
Common forms include broths and savory sauces or gravies; creamy purees or squeezable lickable treats; chunky stews or bisques with meat pieces; and dried morsels.
They are often sold in single-serve pouches and in single-serve or snap-apart twin tubs. Many varieties are also available in multi-pack packages for convenience.
Topper products are commonly labeled for adult, senior, or all‑ages (all life stages) use.
