17. Dried foodstuffs like dried shrimp and ikan billis should be inspected regularly for insect infestations and mouldiness, as they are susceptible to such spoilage. They are also vulnerable to moisture re-absorption so they must be properly packaged and stored immediately in clear, dry jars or containers with tight-fitting lids in the fridge.
Tip: Separate them into portions that can be used all at once to reduce exposure of the entire product at once.
