I hope I am allowed enough space to answer, sorry it took so long. I contacted the company and this is a short version of their answer. The product is now USDA organic approved, they are in the process of flushing out old labels that dont have the seal of USDA. The product is good one year after purchase, but they say 6 months due to the possible shelf life in Amazon warehouse. If the product not good after 6 months they will replace. The product must be stored away from light and heat. This is a paraphrased version sent to me from Perfect Harmony. Dont hold me responsible if my version is not as exact as their response to me. You can contact them on Amazon for any questions, just click on The Perfect Harmony Store as it shows when you see the product. Their response was VERY prompt to my question, hope this helps.

Hi Patricia.....I bought a bag of this corn at the beginning of this month (August) and I just checked it and it says "Expires 6/10/2016....so that means approximately a 2 year shelf life. I am ordering it regularly and grinding it up for my backyard chickens and have been very pleased with it. Hope I've helped you. Pamela

Gene the shelf life is pretty good. I bought a bag in February 2014, the manufacture date is January 2014 and the "Best if Used By" date is January 2016. I'm sure like many other food products this is a guideline and if you went past it a bit it would be okay. Hope that helps.

I had mine for about 6 months after it expired. That's how long it took me to get through it. I compared my 6-months expired to a fresh bag of a different brand. It did seem weaker compared to the fresh, but definitely didn't taste bad or "off".

It depends on how you store it, there is a expiration date on the bag. I will keep no more than 2 months longer depending on area heat-moisture etc., good product and usage depends on how much/often you use it.

I just came here to reorder the 6 bag quantity because we just finished them--at the top of the screen it said that my last order date was March of 2013! I keep them in the freezer, even the bag that I have opened and am using the chips out of, I just put it back in the freezer. They kept just fine and there was no change in the product from freezing.

I re-wrapped (in zippered plastic bags x 2) my package and kept for several months (not much used at one time). Hope this helps!

I store my bag (rolled tight, and chip clipped) in my pantry. I've had my bag for abt 6 months without any obvious flavor change.

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

they are in a 'ziplock' style sealed bag and will last for at least a year, I would actually say longer but taste might be affected...doubtful the potency will change in bag. I actually had a hole in my bag and transferred to a mason jar. I too refrigerate some supps but not the bcaa powder...as long as it is sealed it probabaly isn't a problem but don't allow moisture to get in!

I remeber reading something about its long shelf life. I have a box that has two dates 2006 /2016 so Im thinking its good for 8/10 years. If you have a box your unsure of I would shake it well before use to mix it all up again.

I have no idea what the shelf life is. I just buy about a 2 month supply at a time. Check the expiration date on the package.

I never had a problem with the expiration date as I always ordered them only a couple of weeks before our annual pirate party. They arrive very quickly after you order them, so I would wait just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you what the shelf life is, but I don't know. My local supermarket (County Market) carries the large bags in the "Health Food Section". Maybe your local grocery store carries them, and you can get a better idea of the shelf life.

This is not a consumed item, so I honestly don't know. You would think that it would have no shelf life date on it for just that reason. Since your paying shipping costs ordering 2 at the same time makes a lot of sense. This is a really good product. Next time I order, I may just do the same to order 2 at one time.

I do not know about the shelf life but I did not note that there was an expiry date on the box. I would think that it would have a long shelf life because it is natural and the leaves in the tea bags are dried.

I see the bag says the expiration date is in the seal. In don't have the seal, so I don't know.. Is this product known to expire quickly?

I don't know, because I have never used this product after it has expired. Thanks for asking, because I immediately looked to see if I was using expired and it wasn't. If I ever get a expired bag, I will send it back. Whewww! Had me a little nervous there. :-)
