Shelf-life? How far out is the Best-By date? Does it need to be used within a certain amount of time from opening?

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.

Mine had a 'best if used by' date on it. It was about 11 months out from the date when purchased. It seemed fine for many more months after that though.

I don't exactly know the shelf life because we use these flakes all the time and probably run out of them before they ever go bad. I have never had them go bad. We keep ours in the refrigerator as it is yeast, and perhaps that helps it stay fresh longer. This is a really great product. My guess would be that it could last at least 7 months.

I will check and answer again tonight. I can say I have never had any go bad. It is wonderful sprinkled on popcorn!

Best by: 11/3/15. No store in cool dry place. I use a jar about every 3 months, tastes fresh

I did not see a "use by" date on any of mine. I can say I'm confident that as long as I store it dry it should be practically indefinite. I have sealed my spares in food saver vacuum sealed bags and will use them with confidence any time in the future when opened. A used filter MUST be completely dry before storage so the two I use I do not expect to last any longer than my other filters (i.e. pump or gravity fed). A food saver vacuum sealer is really a small investment for long term storage requirements.

Sealed, it stays fresh pretty much as long as you would want, even if not kept in the refrigerator. I've never had any go bad, but I would guess months. Open, it will dry out, but I don't expect it to spoil.

Actuall I never noticed a "best by" date on the bottle. . .not to say it wasn't there. I would thinkthe shelf life would be a few years since it is high in sodium.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

Well I bought mine this year and I have shared with family members and friends. Since it's only been a short while I can't really say what the shelf life is.

The label says best by 11/5/2014 and I've had it for about 4 months. And, it does recommend refrigeration after opening. But, I don't pay a lot of attention to dates on some things.

I would imagine you should start to use it up soon after opening to retain the freshness but there isn't a whole lot of product so it does not takes years to do this! (It will be gone within a few months of use if used regularly.)

It usually has about a two year expiration date. It states to keep it refrigerated and use within 90 days after opening.

Hey Patricia. There is no shelf life. I would just refrigerate after you open the container.

There is a "best used by date" on the bottom of the can. Nothing about after opening. On our can, the date was about 2 years from the time we purchased it.Hope this helps.

Same here as the below answer - we generally use it until it's gone - probably anywhere between 2-6 weeks after opening.

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

The best by date on my recent purchase is January 2015, but I have stored previously purchased packages for at least two years unopened with no deterioration of quality whatsoever. Once I open a box, a transfer to a glass cannister with a screw on lid to make sure nothing gets in the package. We live in Florida and seal everything and have never had a problem.

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.

If you order from a reputable company, the shelf life are well within safe sell dates. Some expiration dates are from 3 months to next year.
