Room Temperature Safety

Dry crepe mix is shelf-stable at room temperature. Once prepared into batter or cooked, crepes become perishable and must be refrigerated within 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth.
Safe Handling
Always follow package directions for preparation, especially regarding liquid additions and cooking temperatures.
Ensure all perishable ingredients used with the mix (e.g., milk, eggs) are fresh and handled safely according to FDA/USDA guidelines.
Cook crepes thoroughly until golden brown and set to ensure doneness.
Prevent cross-contamination by using clean utensils, bowls, and cooking surfaces when preparing and cooking crepes.
