Default Question about freshly grated parmesan

I bought some BelGioioso "freshly grated" parmesan yesterday because
it was on sale. I normally buy a chunk, grate myself and never
question the shelf life before I find myself down to the rind. This
package however said once the seal is broken, which happened last
night, consume promptly or freeze to prevent possible contamination
and mold. How long do I have with this tub? Are they implying just a
couple days? I do think the texture seems less dry(very light and
fluffy) than when I grate a chunk so may be more susceptible to mold.
But I really have no idea. Should I just go ahead and pop the whole
container in the freezer and store it there to be safe? Thanks for any
help.
