"Keep in a cool, dry place"
This message means in a drawer/filing cabinet (dark and cool, but even this cannot be 10 celsius, for example) or in a fridge ? Because after 1 year ("Best before date"), the CP food starts to smell and lose his colour, when keept in a filing cabinet, not in a fridge.

What kind of "CP food" are you talking about? Some pre-packaged item? I've never seen anything like that here in the U.S. I often catch bugs in little plastic containers and put them in the fridge for a while, just long enough to knock them out but not kill them so that when they wake up, they find themselves inside a VFT trap. Just did that this morning when I found a spider in my bathroom.

Dried blood worms in a plastic can (can is probably the wrong word). And daphnia.

Sorry, I have no experience with anything like that. Sounds like fish food. I only live about 400 miles from the flytrap's natural habitat, so I just feed them live bugs I can catch outdoors, the same thing they'd be catching on their own.
