Keep water and oxygen out. Both of these contribute to rancidity reactions and microbial growth. Cereals typically have about 3% moisture, though most of this water is not available for any chemistry to occur. Even so, water within cereal will ultimately lead to rancidity. Sealing your cereal and freezing it is probably your best bet if you want to really make it last.

Can you freeze cereal?

There are so many types of prepared cereal, there is no one answer to this question. In most cases, there is no reason to freeze cereal products to preserve them. Most cereal products are sold in a dried form, suitable for long term storage. Freezing dried cereal will cause them to absorb moisture and will be 'soggy' when thawed. If you need to store cereal for an extended period, the unopened package is the best choice. If the package has been opened, a container with a minimum amount of airspace, such as a sealable plastic bag or a jar with a tight cover. It's exposure to air that causes cereal to become stale.
