I used half of the pack a few weeks back and I’ve kept it stored in the fridge with a clip on (as in the picture).
I need some cbc-1 in a couple of weeks when I bottle my Belgian tripel, would I do better just buying a new unopened pack or is this opened pack still safe to use? I don’t want to risk contamination. Am I right in thinking the high abv of the beer would kill off any nasties anyway?

Its safe.

I've used a pack of bottling yeast 5 times without issue....only use a couple of grams in my bottling bucket each time....would be an utter waste to throw most of the pack away.
 
My CBC-1 already sits 6 or 7 years in my fridge in a package with a clip. It's still good. Just press the air out of the package before putting the clip back on.
