The one that I received won't be expired until early 2014. I reuse those "yeast containers" from before as it is tan color to block out the light, and put in the fridge. I can fill up 5 containers with this 1 pound pouch. I keep them in fridge all the time and just take it out when I need to uses it. I can use up 1 container in 4 - 6 weeks depending on how often I bake. If you can't use up a pound of yeast in a year, I would recommend you put some in the freezer as others do. Low temperature helps to prolong the life of yeast.

I had it for more than a month and it is still good. You MUST keep it in the refrigerator as the label says!

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.

I've bought three (pounds) batches of this stuff all thru Amazon over time, best deal ever, never a flat loaf. Every batch I bought has a 6 month expiration date, I take it out of the bag and move into a Tupperware container and keep it in my frig. I'm sure its more then 6 months old, but still works, never a flat loaf. I tried other yeast, nothing is as good as this stuff. Even if I could get the stuff locally it would be twice the price, I now never worry about yeast that's not going to work. I had read about this stuff on a bread making website, best advice I could have ever gotten.

I use this all the time. I keep it sealed airtight in the freezer, take it out, measure what I need and pop it back in. It hasn't failed me yet. It's better and cheaper than the grocery store packs and I never have to wonder if I have any yeast! :) A big thumbs up here.

I've NEVER had a problem with this wonderful yeast. I transfer the contents to a plastic, lidded container that lives on the door of my refrigerator for months on end, maybe even as long as a year. I've even kept it in just a ziplock and it's been fine. This stuff doesn't die, unlike that other brand that begins with an F that dies the instant you open it. SAF is reliable, works every time.

Store it in the freezer. I have used it for 3 years and it performs great! No worries!

Mine is years old. I don't even know how old, I'd say at least 5 years. Since purchased it has been stored in the freezer in a sealed glass jar. I didn't bake for years and started back up again recently. Yeast worked perfectly yesterday.

My order was authentic with current expiration. Because you don't need much it does last a long time. I don't pay that close attention to the expiration if my tube ends up lasting longer. If you have any concerns I recommend going back to distributor.

I've always found the exp. date on the bottom of the bag. I think the only way to know before you order it is to send them an e-mail. The bags are vacuum sealed so they would last quite a long time. I just got a bag that's good until March of 2015.

I would buy it straight from the custom probiotics website when buying in bulk. They will send you the expiration info. If refrigerated they should stay high quality and active for 5-6 months

I bought mine from a consultant! I wouldn't buy it on here though, people are saying it's expired.

I have the product still in all its original packaging. It has a lot number, but no date printed anywhere. I always receive fresh products from Fragrancenet and have never had a problem with anything even appearing to be 'expired'.

Hi Izabela,The product is very real and it is not expired. The answer to the first part of your question is everything is sold on line. If I can help you with anything else please let me know.Thank YouJenny

All I can say is that I have ordered it twice, and I trust that it is a reputable company and it's well sealed. Not sure how you would know if it was stale unless the product had expired. At that point, Amazon would have to take it back. No lose proposition!

I was not able to find an expiration date on mine and do not think the product is fresh.

I received mine the same way. I used it anyway. My concern was if the product is fresh or not or how long it will remain fresh.

I believe the date stamp on it is for 12 months. But I know I have had some for several years. I would never suggest anyone consume a food product betond the recommended time. Though the freshness date is a sell by not consume by. As well, the product is high in salt to help with keeping it from spoiling. I have had some last several years.

We are on the auto refill program with Amazon. We have been very pleased with the processed date - expiration date. My guess would be that they took this picture in the past. I'm sure if you ordered one it would be current. Besides when you keep it in the fridge it will be fine. Try one I know it will be fresh. Barlean's is one of the best. Good luck.

I have purchased from them for over a year, and I have never had the issue of anything being expired. The only issue I have run into is that some times the juice has more grit/berries than other bottles within the same box but I just strain it.

There is no expiration date. I don't know if it's fresh, but I sure would like to know.

Hi, you'd want to direct that question directly to the seller, by contacting them. This Question section is more for asking users of a product for their input. The one I received was very fresh. It is packed in my first aid bag, so I don't remember the exact date, but I was happily surprised when I checked it. Good luck with your purchase!

the last time I bought this on amazon was 6 months ago but it was NOT the energy version it was just max. If you order it here and they send you a different version make them resend the correct. Netrush is who the seller was when I bought it on Amazon. Make sure you buy it from a seller with a good feedback rating. I can't recall what the expiration date on it was but it hadn't expired and wasn't expiring soon either. I am buying this now at Costco as the price was about the same. Although last time I went they only had the energy version (which I bought). I can't tell the difference but would prefer the non-energy version too. the last time I bought this on amazon was 6 months ago but it was NOT the energy version it was just max.

Yes, they have a "best before" date. They keep for a long time, so unless you stock up on absurd quantities you will have used it up well before expiry.
