What is the freezer life of a bag?

Flax seed is like some other grains, such as wheat, whereby these seeds do not need to be stored in the freezer like sunflower seeds. They will last for years outside the freezer and probably forever inside the freezer. If you buy the milled flax seeds you would need to store that in the freezer. Enjoy!

I bought mine in February with an expiration date of sometime in December but I'm not worried if I use it or not because I froze it in about 5 freezer bags and pull one out at a time.

I dont recall it being on my bag either (I've since used it all up!) But I do know that if you want it to last longer seal it well in a ziploc and keep it in the freezer. I do that with mine and it lasts months. Hope that helps a little!

My bag says to store in a cool dry place, and that they keep "best" in fridge or freezer. If you are thinking 25 years, then they would probably need to be frozen. The expiration date on my bag was stickered over, so I can't tell what it is. Maybe the manufacturer would have more precise info on shelf life.

I've have never frozen any bags. I use 2 Tablespoonsful daily. After I have opened the bag and removed what I need at the time, I seal the bag tightly and store it in the refrigerator, which is a dark, cool place when the door is closed, as it says on the bag.

I have used this product for several years. I have NEVER had a problem. It lasts approx. 1 year . I keep it is the freezer in a sealed canister, take out as much as I need and put it back in freezer.

The problem is that the freezer insert is contoured to fit 4 bottles (both 5 and 8 ounce.) I have only traveled up to 3.5 hours with just a couple of these storage containers in the bag but I always have them next to a bottle to help keep them cool.

It's supposed to last 6 mos in a cool dry pantry or up to a year in the freezer. I haven't been using it long enough to know if this is true.

I don't know the answer to your question. I never timed how long the freezer stays cold. I did have the batteries die one night. Everything stayed frozen for several hours. That said, we love the freezer. It was the best item we put on our sailboat. Keeps our meats frozen. We even have ice cream.

Wendy and Larry's answers are both good. I've had an opened bag for over six months without any problem and haven't resorted to a freezer.

I am not an expert, but I freeze the bag and take out and fill a shaker so it lasts longer! Hope this helps.

Depends on how long you plan to have then in the freezer. I have used the standard bags for short term storage like a month or so, but if it is going to be stored for several months I would go with the freezer bags.

Leave unopened in original packaging and put in freezer bag for extra protection from freezer burn. Should keep for at least a year. If opened already but uncontaminated, can freeze 6 months or so well-wrapped.

I only use the bag to bring frozen foods home from the grocery store. They're not in the bag for more than 1/2 hour. They're still frozen when I get them home.

It states in the description; 20-25 years if frozen, 15 years if refrigerated and 10 years if stored at room temperature. Hope that helps! :)

If you were to place the item in a regular refrigerator, depending upon the temperature setting, the item would freeze within 1 to 1-1/2 hours; otherwise, if you were to use a conventional or deep freezer, the item would freeze within 20 to 30 minutes.

The bags last us 4 months and we have never experienced deterioration. Product is very dry unlike sweetened coconut. I can see no reason it would not freeze well if you protect from frost crystals and getting freezer odor. If you used vacuum Foodsaver, should be able to keep for at least a year without refrigeration.
