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!

Very fresh. Did not have a chance to see the expiry date. My family finished all in less than a week :)

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

The one that I ordered in mid November were very fresh. They were also well packaged with hardly any biscuit broken inside the roll. The service offered from Amazon worked out well.

Sorry, not sure. Used up a while ago. It was certainly not "stale" and I was happy with the product and the product line. I upped the ante and now use their top of the line product....

The sell by date depends on when it was packaged. If it's been stored in a cool dry place it should be fine. Smell it, if it's not rancid smelling, I'd use it.

I ordered mine around February. Just now, it's getting caked due to moisture. If you have it in a truly airtight jar, it should keep for a very long time. The little moisture-fighting packet gets less effective after awhile. But then, I'm just finishing it after 7 months.

In reading the comments about the color, I am wondering how fresh this product is and perhaps that's why it's an off color? Particularly since it's so inexpensive?

I would think the fresh is better, but this ground is exceptional. I always use it because for me, it is the closest thing to real for a much easier to use and much less expensive alternative to fresh.

Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale.

I had bought some last year during June and it was fresh. Can't remember the production date. I used it till August / September

In my experience when they get old the gel solidifies. If it's at normal viscosity you can consider it fresh.

Yes, it was fresh. I'm really sensitive to rancid smells in foods, and this had a really good aroma. There is a use by date on it, and mine had over a year on it. I keep my stuff in the fridge, so mine lasts a bit longer that way. I also take put mine in a glass jar that I use a vacuum sealer on that I got for wide mouth jars; it from food saver. Really keeps things nice and fresh.

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.html I found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code. Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

I also noticed that the expiration date was just coming due when I got mine. I wasn't overly concerned as it says Best before not expires or do not use after. Also it is hebs, seasoning, salt etc. so again I wasn't overly concerned, not really happy that they were near or at the best by date.

Put it in a baggie & keep unused units it in the frig and it will last many months longer after buying. Not the freezer. Let the one your going to use warm-up before using. BE CERTAIN your TRAY is DRY inside before applying also. &gt;I don't see an expiration or sell by date on mine. If it comes out easy/runny it's still good when applying. My extra I haven't used up yet was still good 1 month ago when I last used some. Never got an order that wasn't FRESH. Best it to order/use only what you will need over a 6-8 month period. 35% is the way to go. REMEMBER the key is&gt; DRY TRAYS!

I can't remember when I bought this. The best by date is July of 2015. I have never had any spoil. It does recommend storing in a cool dry place. I really like this product and use it often.

It's dried, so it stays "fresh" for as long as you can keep it dry. I've had mine over a year and it's still great.

I'm sure fresh is always better, I have the plant in my backyard. But, the fresh plant when used smells like B.O..
