The packets don't have an expiration date on them. Other brands I have purchased do......is this old popcorn? How long will it be fresh?

I had the same concern after I had purchased some off flavor from the same type. I contacted great northern the told me to contact amazon. Also I was concerned that they advertised coconut oil but the packages state it could be a blend of oils. I started buying the bulk corn, 100% coconut oil by the gallon, popcorn flavoring by the gallon and popcorn salt. You will come out about the same with expiration dates and 100% coconut oil if you buy your own, no guessing.

My box had a date in the future by a couple of years, but I still stand by my review that they didn't taste or pop well. I ended up buying good bulk coconut oil at Costco for cheap and then buying some good quality bulk popcorn here on Amazon that tastes and pops far better than this product. Although - I liked the potential convenience of these packets.

The outside of the carton/box that the packets come in has a printed Best if used by date on it. I have one I purchased in September, 2013 which says best used by 10/23/2015. So, you probably have about two years to eat yours if you bought it recently before it might not be fresh.

Yes, it will be fine. I've used them past the expiration date, but if they are expired, I move them to the freezer until I can use them. Works great for me. Taste is still awesome.

I still have some left over from last year in an air tight container and they're still as fresh as the day I bought them, still crunchy. So it depends on how and where you store them. They are composed entirely of sugar which is effected by moisture and air. So its up to you on the shelf life. Put them in an open bowl in an even remotely moist environment and they wont last a week. Unless you like them without the crunch and soft.

Hi. I ordered them this early year and they had an 8 year expiration date from 2013. Now I can't tell you if other companies who sell this same brand have the same. When you see the one you want, email them what expiration date you will recieve. They looked fresh and I only opened one and looked at it but of course did not use it. So they looked smelled fresh. Hope this helps

I'm honestly not sure if there is an expiration date on them or not. The packages are not as big as a pack of normal marshmallows from the stores, though. They are 2.7 oz packages, where as the average package of jet puffed brand looks like it's between 10-16oz. I had a couple of extra packages left over after making my project(sugar free moon pies for my dad) and I gave the extras to my mom for them to have as a treat.. I'm not sure if the bags got punctured or not, but she says within about a month, they got rock hard. I had them for a few weeks prior to use & they were as soft as can be, so I don't know... One thing, though... Once they get hard, i THINK you could still turn them into cream in the microwave. You just throw them into a microwave safe bowl & cook them for a brief time( watch them carefully because they may expand in the microwave quite a bit). Just stir them once they're warm & it's ready to use. It re-hardens quickly, but once it does, you just pop it back in the micro & stir it back up. You may be able to mix some butter in to keep it more creamy, but I haven't tried that yet. I have heard in reviews that you can use these marshmallows just like normal sugary versions from the store, so I'd like to try making s'mores & rice crispy treats with them next time I order some. I can not even tell you how surprised at how good they are. Anyways, this is turning into a novel, so I will end this. The short answer is that I'm not sure if there's an exp date, but it seems they do get hard within a couple of months(I was really surprised to hear this from my mom). I wonder if keeping them in an air tight container would extend the shelf life? You may want to contact the seller & see if they could tell you. I hope this was helpful in some way! Take care.

I don't recall Alan expiration date, but i didn't look. I'd say for freshness sake I'd use them asap, but they're vacuum sealed so they should last a while if not opened.

Hi, I haven't bought the packets, only the loose stevia in a bottle. But as far as I can tell it lasts for years. I don't know if it gets stale after years, but I've used old powder and it's been fine.

I couldn't find any expiration on the individual packets, but on the outer carton it says Best Buy August 2014. Since it contains vinegar it may last longer.

There is no expiration date that I have on mine. I see them as being non-perishable and I have had them for over a year probably and had some of them a month ago and they were still good. I don't eat carbs much anymore and 6 packages for just one person is lasting a long time.

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

The expiration date on my purchases have always been at least 3 months in the future. We do buy the small snack size bags and have eaten some lately that we're left over from a July order and they were just as fresh tasting.

Good question. They are shrink wrapped and there is no expiry date listed. Hopefully, they are fresh when bought.

I haven't seen an expiration date on the box and the individual packets do not show an expiration. I can't imagine that there would be any problem. Certainly no problem that you wouldn't have with any other kind of bagged tea.

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

The ones I ordered last month have an expiration date of Feb 1913 oops . And the cap seal is stiff and hard to twist open. I wonder if the contents are still fresh and strong????

I see no expiration date on my bag of 250 packets. I am no expert, but I do not see why they would ever expire - they are in foil packets (that should keep any moisture out) and they are just salts that I think should last forever. Plus, it is the best deal on them by such a big margin, I would get then that way even if I was not sure I would use them up.

I don't have the package anymore, but I imagine. I have had mine longer than 18 months, and it's still fresh. I transferred it into a glass mason jar, and keep it in a dark cupboard.
