My cacao nibs package does not have an expiration date or package date. How do I know it's fresh? The bag is dusty inside not clear like the picture..

My package didn't have an expiration date and the packaging is somewhat opaque but the product is very good. I never had a second thought about it.

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.

At the bottom of the can, there should be an expiration date imprinted to it. I just checked mine this morning. Hope this helps!

We used our chocolates well before that length of time so didn't have a need to check expiration dates. We ordered these in August and were pleased that they arrived in an insulated bag to prevent melting in the summer heat. Sorry I can't be of more help than that.

I'm sorry not sure maybe I should have checked but the product was fresh and not stale and I love it. Threw away the box.

I ordered this awhile back...can't remember when. Label on actual package says: "Best when used by Nov 7, 2013". However, I have ordered this box containing 2 large bags twice in the past and they have lasted over a year. I wouldn't worry: It's dried fruit. f you're concerned, maybe you should freeze them. But I certainly would not worry about this. Dried fruit lasts for years...or eternity.

I didn't see any expiration date on any of the cases I have purchased. They are packages in pairs. Each one of to in a light plastic wrapper. Then the two are sealed in an airtight mylar foil package which keeps them fresh until opened. After opening, they dry out in about a week to 10 days. But the sealed ones will last a very. long time. I have had some that were almost 6 months old and when opened they were perfect. I suspect it would take decades for these to deteriorate if they are not opened, which could occur by the hazelnut creme drying out. That creme is the best thing about this wonderful confectionery.

my box expired three years ago & it still tastes as fresh as the first time I opened it. I had coco wheats that were five years past the expiration date and still cooked up and tasted the same as fresh.

The box of bags I received last week (week of Feb 8, 2015) says: Guaranteed Fresh Until 14 AUG 15.But as it's a sealed bag and there's really nothing to spoil, I would pay absolutely no attention to it and it does not say anything about spoiling, only freshness.

I bought mine from another vender. Just looked at the expiration date and it is an expired item. Never noticed before. However, I have been using and did not notice the difference. Since I did not ingest the product, I am not concerned, but will be careful the next time I order. Glad you asked the question. Made me more aware.

I have received it in similar packaging and also their used to be a Silica pack in it or something similar for freshness which I am not seeing anymore...Anyone has any recommendations?

I see the bag says the expiration date is in the seal. In don't have the seal, so I don't know.. Is this product known to expire quickly?

I checked my pkg, unfortunately, the expiration date wore off. Sorry, wish I could help. Good Luck.

I don't know, because I have never used this product after it has expired. Thanks for asking, because I immediately looked to see if I was using expired and it wasn't. If I ever get a expired bag, I will send it back. Whewww! Had me a little nervous there. :-)

There is no information on the bag, or expiration date, but I would expect the shelf life of an unopened bag would be almost indefinite if kept in a cool, dry place. If you are using the tea regularly, its quality should be fine for as long as it takes you to use a bag. They are dried herbs, so again, store in a cool, dry place and it should be fine.

It differs from package to package but mine says 1/2015 and I ordered just a week ago. Not fresh, in my opinion.

I have stored it for a few months at a time. Especially, if you don't open the bag, it will stay fresh much longer. It should have an expiration date. It has always tasted fresh to me.

Actually the cacao nibs are inside. The outside is a rather thin papery covering, which you can eat too. They are rather crunchy and need to be chewed up. The first few seemed sort of strange. But after I had eaten a few about 3 different times I really got into them. I have now eaten 2 packages of them and have gotten to like them better than the processed chocolate we are used to, which now tastes sort of sweetly overcooked chocolate. That may not happen to everyone, but I have another friend that likes them more than customary chocolate now too.
