I'm sorry . . . I've never had one last very long, so I can't speak from experience. However, I think all you might be compromising is the intensity of the flavor. If it still takes good, go ahead and use it!

I would think that as long as it still has it's flavor, it would still be good. I've never had the opportunity to use it past it's expiration date because I use it up within a few months of receiving it. I just know it's my very favorite cinnamon in the world! I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific. It's normal flavor tastes kind of like "Red Hots" candy, if that helps any.

As long it was kept in a cool dry place your ground spices will last ~4 years. They start to lose their flavor after that. If you are concerned about using it, smell the spice. If it is still very fragrant, it will have good flavor. However, the spice companies tell you that you should throw all your spices out after 6 months. HMM, I wonder why??

I used mine for at least four years after purchase and it still stood up well in things like quick breads and cinnamon rolls.

I just received my jar and am looking at the storage directions now. "Best By 10/2014. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Use within 3 months after opening or refrigerate."So what this says to me is that, unopened, it's best by October 2014 (10 months from now). Once opened, it should be used within 2-3 months if stored in a cabinet (someplace dark and cool), OR it can be refrigerated to last longer, although it doesn't specify by how much.

Honey never expires. The "expiration date" on the jar is the date after which the honey cannot be sold. The honey itself is good forever.

The expiration date is on the box, not the jar. On my previous purchase, the date was on the bottom of the box and read 06/14. The expiration date on the new jar I purchased is on the side of the box and reads 1/2015.

I don't think there is an expiration date, as if you use the product each day, you really don't have to worry about it having an expiration time. If used each day, you will use up the jar in about a month.

It's good for at least five years after the printed expiry date. No kidding,I found out from personal experience when I opened a can from a forgotten stash with an expiry date of 1994 -in 2001. Being rather intrepid,I decided to mix a batch and it was perfect. (In retrospect,maybe I was just lucky but it was still fine. No one noticed anything different anyway)

I ordered two jars long ago and still have one unopened..as far as I can see, there's no expiration date on it. It does have a consumer information number you might call for more information..1-800-990-90-39. That's the number printed on my bottle. It doesn't look like a regular number???

The expiration date should be on the box or bottom of the jar. Mine was 2016.

There are no expiration dates noted on any of my jars. I never went looking for that information before; just never thought about it. So, now I'm wondering also . . .

This product expires 2 years from the date of purchase. I started using my 1 oz bottle on 3-15-14 and I have enough left for 2 more months.

The expiration date is stamped on the bottom of the Jar. We hope you enjoy the product.

Apparently there is no expiration date on the jar. Only thing I can think is that it's supposed to be only a month's supply, so shouldn't have a chance to go bad. PLus, there isn't much in this stuff that could go bad. I find it lasts a little more than a month for my guys, and they do love it. It seems to work; my boys are healthy and happy. Hope this was helpful.

Everything expires. Generally 3-5 years is shelf life (from the date of production) for similar products. Look at the expiration date or "use by" date on the jar as James mentioned.

The shelf life from the date produced is two years. Typically the amount of shelf life remaining is 14-18 months when you will receive the jars.

It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. I've never refrigerated it. The jar I just received has a two year pull date; copy on the label says to use within two years of opening.

The expiration date on my purchases was always over 2 1/2 years. If you won't use 100 in the next 2 years, consider buying a smaller quantity.

There is no expiration date on the bottle. My last jar I had for about 18 months and had no problem with it. The jar I had prior to that I kept in the bathroom, and the humidity solidified it, so I would suggest keeping it in a dry place.
