Kodak's note:

..."While storage in a refrigerator or freezer can be highly beneficial,
you should not rely on it to extend film life beyond the "Develop Before"
date. This is especially important with high-speed films, which can be
fogged by cosmic and gamma radiation that is naturally present all around
us. Neither cooling nor lead-foil bags will prevent this effect...."
