Is there an expiry date on this since it has a tendency to go rancid? Could I buy 5 to store them in the fridge without them expiring before use?

I am not sure on the exp date. I keep mine in the fridge after I opened it and that was a couple months ago

Hello! These really do not expire or dry out if you keep the lid very tight. We recommend storing them in a cool dark place such as a pantry. Do not let it freeze or get extremely hot as it can break down the ingredients. They will last a very long time! Hope that helps

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

I freeze mine. At 6months I'm still using it and the taste is still amazing. Hasn't gone rancid yet, I expect it to last another 4-6 months before I need to reorder.

Refrigerate ASAP , good for as long as the expiration date provided on the bottle☺️

Although ours rarely lasts that long, I doubt it will go bad. I don't believe they use bio oils that will go rancid. We found a bottle in back of the closet that was forgotten and at least 2-3 yrs old. It twas still fine. This is a great product and we highly recommend it. Plus it's made in the USA!

They actually suggest refrigeration, but I order these in bulk in 25 lb boxes and store them in a large kitchen cabinet, and I can attest that they last at least a year. I would like to put some in my food storage but haven't tried it yet. I think if they're dry packed in foil pouches or buckets with an O2 pack, they would probably last quite a while. The big threat would be rancidity, but since they have a very low fat content, I think they'd be OK. I can't see why they'd be any different than TVP.

I believe there should be an expiration date on the package. I would say you could keep them for a while at room temperature. After a week I would put them in the frig. The package is usually eaten up by then though for me. Hope this helps. :)

My bottles had a sticker with a 2017 expiration date (more 3 years from date of purchase). However, I had read fractionated coconut oil does not go rancid.

I've had unopened ones sitting around for a month or so now, and they taste exactly the same as the fresher ones. Opened, I'd say you still have at least a couple of weeks. They seem to be a largely dehydrated product, so from my experience they seem unlikely to perish for a really long time.

shelf life is dated on the container: I think a year. Does not have to be kept in the refirgierator..They are great!

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

The packets don't require refrigeration as it is a dry mix. I have used up mine so don't know about expiration dates on the product but I am sure they can be on the shelf for at least a year.

I just keep it in my kitchen cupboard! It really lives for long time may be until the printed expiration date! just try to use a dry clean spoon everytime u take from the jar & it won't be spoiled!

there will be an expiration date on the box, generally about two years. but there are expiration dates on bottles of vinegar, which can and do last for generations. canned veggies have approx. two-year expiring dates. like canned cream of mushroom soup, i wouldnt hesitate using these at five or six years old. typically, canned foods may lose some taste and color after the two year mark. but they still hold their nutritional value for far longer. just keep them stored in a dark, dry place under 75 degrees, like a pantry or cabinet.

I don't know if they ever expire as long as they are in a closed container or bag. They don't last long enough at my house to expire. LOL

I keep it in the refrigerator to extend its freshness. Not sure of the expiration date, but it will get old much faster if it is at room temperature.
