My answer is, NOT fresh. Mine just arrived, and I was surprised to see that they were NOT in a box. Just the round, foil-covered oranges, so there were no expiration dates. I immediately unwrapped one, and compared them to 1) oranges I bought last year, and 2) oranges I bought this Christmas (I was just eating them last night, finishing one and starting another.the chocolate looks old, with some of that whitish that appears. It does not have much, if any, of an orange flavor, whichis what happens when these age.

There is an expiration date, but it depends on the product. Newer batches expire later than older ones (naturally), but typically they last quite a while when wrapped and stored in a cool, dry place. Mine lasted a whole year before looking like they were getting old, but by then I was on the last orange, and it didn't last for much longer after. ;)

I placed my order April 2013. They had an expiration date of 8/22/13. I immediately ate & shared several of the Terry's Chocolate Orange balls and they were delicious. I saved/hoarded two of the Choc. Orange balls & when I received this question from Amazon I decided it was time to open one of the two I had 'saved.' I didn't refrigerate or freeze them, they were stored at room temperature. I am eating it as I write, March 9, 2014 and I have to say that it looks and tastes exactly like it did in April 2013. This seller obviously shipped me quality Terry's Chocolate Orange balls that were well within the expiration date, but I chose to 'save' 2 for later eating pleasure and they are still yummy!

I don't have the exact dates because I don't have the original packaging anymore. But that being said, the candy was very fresh and tasty. And I have ordered them more then once and I have never had a problem with any of them being old or stale.

There is no expiration date. Given the nature of the product, I'd think they have a long shelf life.

they are fresh & expires in July 2014. I would reorder it again in the future. Just be aware that not everyone has strong jaws to chew especially older folks.

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????

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.

I got them maybe 6 months ago or more and they dont expire until May 2014 - about a year after I bought them (completely reasonable). And the taste is fine--not perfect but fine.

Sorry, I really couldn't tell you. I never paid attention to the expiration date. I do know they were very fresh and they didn't last long in our household. Highly recommend. They do get jostled around in the mail, but it doesn't matter. I can guarantee you can't eat one without wanting more.

I do not know exactly; however, I bought a box of 800 months ago and I believe that they are still fresh. If you are going to use 2 or more per day, the box of 800 should be OK.

I honestly don't think they have a use-by date. They're wheat-based so I'd say they stay fresh for at least 4-6 weeks. I wish I could tell you more but my husband never lets them stay on the shelf too long. He eats them upwell within their expiration date!

The ones that I purchased in May of 2015 have a 3/29/16 expiration date. I have gotten ones at local grocery stores that were well past the expiration. They get pretty tough, but the taste has never been affected in my experience. Those were probably 6+ months past the expiry date.

I ordered this in July or August of 2012. I don't have any left now, so I can't tell you the expiration date. I know they were fresh when we used them for a bridal shower. It was packaged very well - but the shipping was very expensive.

Same concern I had, but am half-way through the bottles as the exp. date is 11/2014. In other words, they WERE within "date" and still fairly fresh! Hope this helps!?

Didn't see an expiration date but my past experience says they are good for several years when stored properly. Too dry can make them brittle, too moist will shorten their life.

Not really sure of the actual date of expiration but we got these in May 2014 and we are stll eating them in February 2015. Still fresh and good.

They usually are good for at least a year or more. I have never received any that were pass the expiration date. I've never seen where it says an expiration date when I order but if I got them and they were they would go back. I really don't think there will be a problem. I've never had any and I have been ordering them for at least 2 years through Amazon. Hope this helps.

I don't remember if there is a date on the packets but I can tell you they are fresh when they arrive. When they start to turn they are slimy. If your weather is hot keep them in the frig. They will turn in the heat. I kept them in the frig. I can tell you they are really good. I will be buying them again.
