You could try asking the company, but my Selcon has turned gooey as well on occassion and I still have used it. I'm not sure it's doing much good in that state, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. Just give it a good shake.

I have never stored mine in the fridge. The manufacturer site does not say that it has to be.

The manufacturer gains if selcon has to be replaced because 'the selcon may be bad'. This reefer may toss the old one and buy a new one.
The salmon or other fish oil capsules for humans do not say 'refrigerate after opening' either.
But, if you take a few fresh sunflower seeds, crush them and leave them unrefrigerated, within days they go bad.
That is the reason why it makes sense to refrigerate selcon. Just my opinion
