Is there an expiry date for this product? The bag I bought does not have a "best by" date.

Yes there is an expiration date. Its on the back usually near the top. It will probably expire in 2015. I keep mine sealed in a plastic storage box and put the bag in too.

I don't know. In fact, I quit buying this from Amazon because the bag was too heavy for any of their boxes which always arrived open/shredded/generally destroyed. I'm now buying Rachel Ray Just Six and Newman's organic senior dog supplemented by the BIG bags of salmon & pea at Sam's.

The product I bought in the summer of 2013 has "Best by 03/20/14" but because it is tightly vacuum-packed and compressed, I believe it has a longer shelf-life than the companies prediction. That is why it says "best" instead of "expired." This product is packaged as a compressed cube, which gives it a longer shelf life. It also comes packaged in a plastic bottle, stay away from that one.

I don't see an "expiration date" on the bag, but there is moisture inside...which accounts for the weight of the bag that probably keeps the microbes alive for much longer than 3 months if you keep it in a cool, dark place (say garage). Once the bag is opened and it dries, it becomes significantly lighter. Since it is so expensive I would not waste it on grown trees and shrubs and instead use it only on the seedlings, young perennials and annuals in flower beds. Cheaper compost would suffice as a top dressing for your trees and shrubs. I mix mine as a component in my germination mixes and it does not seem to degrade in quality even after a year for that purpose. I will never garden without this stuff again.

The bag that I received had expiration date of October 2014 I think. We used the gummys as part of party favors and it went well. I hope this helps.

We buy a bag every week and have never found the food to be anywhere near the expiration date. Actually, it is fresher than buying at my local pet supply store.

I recently purchased 2 more lb. Both bags indicate expiration date : 12-12-15.

my container does have a "best by" date on the label. I'm not sure when that one was made before I purchased it but, I have had it for over a year and my "best by" date is 9-7-2014. I have not used it since that date so I can't really tell you if it still holds its consistency. I hope this helps a little.

I've always found the exp. date on the bottom of the bag. I think the only way to know before you order it is to send them an e-mail. The bags are vacuum sealed so they would last quite a long time. I just got a bag that's good until March of 2015.

The expiration date for the product should be listed on the outside of the bag. Our product is direct from the manufacturer (we order new product monthly).

I have no clue! I never look for expiration dates, much less on tea bags.....

It has a very long shelf life ... My last purchase this year has an expiration of 7/2016 If you have a bag..it's located on the back at the bottom.

I just finished my last bag and noticed the expiration date on the package is apr 2015. I'm not sure what the manufacturing date is though.

Not sure about expiration date...but my dogs have frequent training sessions to be good members of society and therefore bag does not last too long in my house...sorry I could not be more specific....

Yes. Just bought a bag in DECEMBER 2014 it had an expiration date of February 2016. Also comes in a foil lined bag with a zip lock seal.

I agree with previous answers. No expiration date. Keep container closed well when not using and, if you feel better, keep it in a storage bag.

I'm not sure that I have ever seen an expiration date on mine. Have you purchased it yet? If so, look on the package. If not, I wouldn't worry about it expiring. It is sealed really well.

the last order I received about 2 months ago bags had expire date of 11/2014, so I would think this group will be about January 2015.
