Hi, I opened a bag of these around Christmas but never finished... forgot about them! Anyway, it's now mid-April- still safe to eat you think?

Well, I would try them and see. Have they been in a humid or hot place? If not probably ok. After all they are dried.

Definitely! I grind one bean in with my whole bean coffee each morning and the bag lasts me for about ten to twelve months and is just as good as when I opened it. I've never noticed any rancidity. You may want to keep the bag in the freezer to extend it's use further. Hope this helps:)

Since they are in a shell I would think they are ok but maybe ask one of the natural food stores in your area.WHOLE FOODS is a good one if you have one near you!

I would think so as long as they have been kept in a dry place I've had mine for over 2 years I've kept them in mason jars though so I can see any decay and they seem to be fine and still taste fresh. I think because they are dried they have a substantial shelf life

I've had unopened ones sitting around for a month or so now, and they taste exactly the same as the fresher ones. Opened, I'd say you still have at least a couple of weeks. They seem to be a largely dehydrated product, so from my experience they seem unlikely to perish for a really long time.

I have no clue. I ate them all lol they had a long time before they expired though

I would not eat them, not because of loss of liquid, but because of the possibility of bacterial invasion. I would ask Amazon (if this is where you bought them) to replace them. It is only reasonable that they put them in your hands after you purchase them in a safe condition.

These ones I ordered had an Best by date of Dec.31st 2014.So I'm guessing they would be good to eat for up to a year old. Like any other food product I'm sure these bars would be safe to eat pass that date by atlease a couple months.I hope this information is helpful to you.

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

I store them on a shelf in the pantry. They come in a reclosable bag with a 'best by' date of 10/14. They won't last long, they're delicious!

They are in nice sealed packages and I have had them for about 6 months, just opened one the other day it and still tasted great. I bet there is an expiration date on the package too.

I would wait. They would probably stay fresh, if they remained unopened but I would suggest ordering them around the end of August/beginning of September. I hope this helps :)

I bought these for my daughters wedding last June. I still have some left over. I got the strawberry preserves and honey. I opened a thing of the preserves a few days ago and it tasted as good now as when we bought them almost a year ago. They were really cute jars and were a really big hit as party favors. We tied burlap bows around the top and piles them in a big decorative bowl. I think you would be ok to get them now if you can keep from eating it :-) If I can answer anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.

I would not attempt to predict what date they would send you. Normally it is that year's crop. I have one bag in my freezer that expired 7/2012 & is still good. Used it the other day to make Cranbread. I do know if you let the bag sit on a shelf @ 65F 8-12 months, the berries loose something in taste & quality. Thus why I freeze them. If this answer doesn't help, I would contact Bayside Candy (supplier of the one's I bought) asking them for the expiration dates on the current shipped lot.

I have not frozen mine, as they keep fine in the pantry before an expiration date. I would hazard a guess, that the texture may be compromised somewhat.

Try and freeze one and see in a couple of days, in our house they never last that long ... but I am sure they will be OK as the nuts freeze well...

These cookies were perfect when I got them. I ordered them and didn't open them for about 2 weeks and they were still fresh. Hope this helps

I don't remember if there is a date on the packets but I can tell you they are fresh when they arrive. When they start to turn they are slimy. If your weather is hot keep them in the frig. They will turn in the heat. I kept them in the frig. I can tell you they are really good. I will be buying them again.

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.

I enjoyed them immensely and ate them rather quickly, but would not order until Feb 2015...just to be safe
