Does anyone know this information? Can I freeze baking powder and/or baking soda without any ill affect on my end baking product?

My mom kept her baking powder in the freezer and I do too. You do it so it will keep longer. It works just fine.

jrslady is correct! I have kept my baking soda and powder in the freezer for years. It's a shame to go to all the trouble to bake a scratch recipe and have all your hard work ruined for lack of storing your ingredients properly.
I put flours and biscuit mixes in fridge. Always freeze bay leaves. All else in cool dry place. Baking powder and soda dark cool cupboard. That's about it.
Pardon me - but whay would you want to freeze it? Isn't it a chemical mixture? My mother always kept it on the shelf - me, too - I don't think you have to treat it with much care- maybe put it in a can or jar???
Pamphyila - Baking Powder loses it's potency over time - I know, I've thrown my share of unused baking powder out. Small tip: To find out if baking powder is still usable: Put a very small amount in a very small amount of water.
Thank you!!
I also keep mine in the freezer and it always works fine when I need it for baking.
I never throw baking soda away. I actually wind up storing it if it goes bad and using it as a face scrub (with handsoap) or to scrub the sink/bathtub with. The gritty texture works really well even when the always useful chemical has gone away!
I am sure that if you freeze your baking powder you will need to throw it later :(
