What is the shelf life of the product? I have product left from '13 application and want to use again this year if it's still effective.

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.

I would like to know that, too! Sorry I don't have the answer. I bought this product last year around Thanksgiving.

I have not seen an expiration date but I can tell you that we have used last year's product this year and it has been just as effective.

I believe it has a shelf life of over one year, maybe more! ...that's my experience, works great each time.. I buy several each yr for my use.

This product will have a shelf life of 5 years. Please know that we carry several different lots at one time and cannot guarantee that you will receive the latest expiration date. We do guarantee the potency on the bottle until the expiration date although you may receive a later manufactured date.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

Hello - I happen to still have the product. I bought 2 of them. They don't have an expiry date anywhere on the box or jar but they have lot codes: 2056PRT AND 2201PRT.

There isn't an expiration date on the bottles but given the list of ingredients, I wouldn't think it has more than year of shelf-life once opened. Probably OK to use but probably not as potent as when you first used it.

Hey JDD,I could not find a lot # or serial # or expiration date on my bottle. All I found was, on the side was stated, "Best Used within 2 years of purchase." So, the shelf life is about 2 years. I've used this stuff for several decades and it never seems to lose potency, even after 6-8 years. I hope that gives a view-point to consider. Thanks!

I have used mine several times and plan on many more. I dry it out between trips for storage and re-soak when needed again. Have not seen any expiration data on the packaging, so I guess it's indefinite.

I had the same question, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were very helpful, and said that the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. We store it in the pantry, and it's just hit the one-year mark and is almost all used up, and in my opinion it's probably lost a bit of its original flavor, but it's still very good. Time order some more!

Hi Lucy, I checked my bottle before responding. I found no 'exact' expiration date. However, in small print on the back of the bottle it indicates where and when it was manufactured. My bottle that I bought last year, says 2013. I am assuming that's when it was produced. I am still using the same bottle and it's still effective. I would say a bottle is perfectly fine for up to a year. Hope this helps!

I have used this item for years and I keep it on the door of my refrigerator. Shelf life, well, I use it all the time and it is gone before I can get more.

If at all possible I'd put this into the frig. The shelf life should be indefinite. Failing that? It' a dry powder but your guess is as good as anybody else's.

The expiration date on the box we purchased was over a year, so we've had over 14 months to use it. We've also found the product to be effective past the expiration date.

no idea - i use it when i buy it. The product is very effective - the best I have found. Who cares about shelf life when you have the best product?

Pectin has a shelf life? I've had some sitting on my shelf for a year (between canning seasons) and it worked just as well as when I bought it.

No. It has an indefinite shelf life according to Scotts. You should try to keep moisture from getting in it, but that won't ruin its effectiveness.
