Pick a state and then scan down towards the bottom for STORAGE:

If Organic, most likely it is not sprayed with a growth retardant .
One other point is not to make garlic oil out of it and leave it out of the
refrig.
It may develop botulism nor feed large amounts to pets over long periods
It can cause anemic problems in them.
