Can I keep this cereal in the pantry where my kids can reach it without it going stale?

Can I send a single-serve portion of Mateys in my child's daycare bag?

Can I rely on Mateys as an everyday breakfast without flavor fatigue?
The pirate adventure theme and chocolate-marshmallow combo keep breakfast exciting for kids, and the 1.94 lb family-size bag means you can serve it daily without constantly restocking.
How should I store Malt-O-Meal Chocolate Marshmallow Mateys after opening?
Keep the cereal in its original 30 oz resealable stand-up pouch, pressed flat and sealed tightly, or transfer it to an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry to preserve crunch and freshness.

Thanks to the resealable pouch design, the cereal typically stays crunchy and fresh for several weeks after opening when properly sealed and stored in a cool, dry pantry location.
Can I portion Mateys into small snack baggies for the week?
