Same here! It was very warm, bordering on hot. I refrigerated it

immediately but am leery about using it. It's a big job and so I just

made another batch of cows milk yogurt. I feel like I may have thrown

away my money.

,

I advise that you not worry too much about it showing up warm. The living

stuff in it does not die off all at once and they probably plan for a certain

amount of warmth in travel. It is nigh-on-impossible to ship something with an

icepack and have the cold last the whole way. I've ordered supplements from

kirkman before and they pack their probiotic supplements in cold packs and then

wrap them in an insullating material, but in summer they still show up warm,

with a note to just put them right in the fridge when they get to you. If you

are still uncomfortable with it, you could try to buy from a healthfood store

that keeps the product in a refrigerated case. They might have come in on a

refrigerated truck and therefore had a little less " warm time " over all.
