how fresh are these can versus the ones found in stores?

As fresh as canned and sealed can be. The can I have presently is a 2018 expiration so that oughta tell you something, the exp. date is on the bottom of the can. My favorite flavor is the vanilla as it mixes well with any fruit or veggie I chose to blend with it.

As far as I can tell, these are the same that we used to pack in our Dry Pack Cannery. They look the same and taste the same. And you're right; they are the best!

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

I purchased mine around March, 2011 and they all had an expiration date of June 30, 2012. I still have part of a can left, and I really can't tell the difference in quality despite it being "expired" for 4 months now. It's hard to say what the date will be, but I haven't yet received anything from Amazon that was going to expire within 6 months.

Glenn, I have been, so far and Amazon guarantees there product sources/stores. I know its real because of the funny smell. As for its freshness, it doesnt come with a date. My guess is they are fairly fresh since they seem to move. Dunno, but I keep buying.

Just moist, not wet. I get mine from Amazon. They have always been fresh. Need to keep closed tight.

They come in sealed pods. I dont refrigerate them and have never noticed anything less than a fresh taste

As they are wrapped in smaller sealed portions I just kept them in the box in a cool pantry. So far, so good and it has been over 6 months. I used them yesterday and they taste as fresh as the first small package.

The ones I bought last month say they are good through October 2015, but I'm assuming that's unopened. Once opened I would just freeze them!

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

Absolutely, they will stay fresh as long as the container isn't opened or damaged. Suggest maybe a tin can to shop in. They are great for long term storage also.

My husband and I have used several bags of these, and they always seem to be fresh till the end. We have two shakes a day with these in them, so we go through them pretty fast. I am not sure about the freezing.

They last a very long time in an airtight container and don't need to be refrigerated or frozen. We have some from before June and they are still fresh.

They arrived fresh in a small container. I used some on the spot and the others I dried myself.

I don't know. I usually use mine within a month or so and they are fine. They are individually wrapped in a "vacuum" type package so I am guessing they have a long shelf life.

The ones I ordered last month have an expiration date of Feb 1913 oops . And the cap seal is stiff and hard to twist open. I wonder if the contents are still fresh and strong????
