Does anybody know what the shelf life is of the various betta pellet foods?

I have read that the vitamins can disappear fairly quickly and that refrigeration/freezing significantly extends shelf life. I have Hikari Betta BioGold, HBH Betta Bites, Aquarian pellets, Dean Carstensen pellets, and Azoo pellets.

Also what about the shelf life of opened cans of Hikari freeze dried food such as bloodworms and brine shrimp?

Only the Hikari FD foods say anything about shelf life and they simply say "For maximum success the contents should be used within 90 days of purchase".

I couldn't find anything about shelf life on the cans / packages of the pellet foods.

I keep lots of the food in the freezer to try and extend it's shelf life.
