I purchased raisins that were extremely moist. I did not find the instructions FOR BEST RESULTS REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING until I had used them all. I refrigerated them when I thought they had a different smell and cooked all I used after that. They are Southern Grove ALL NATURAL CALIFORNIA RAISINS and it says BEST BY FEB/03/15 C-1. I have used several other packages just like this one that were not so moist and did not cause any problems. I see now they also say to REFRIGERATE.
