Why is it advertised "fresh for October 2011?" does that mean it is not fresh for 2013?

I can only hope that they simply forgot to update the product description. I purchased it in 2011 and I just ordered and received a new batch this week. The batch I received this week seems fine, grows quick.

no idea, but i buy 3-4 bags at a time and leave them in a cupboard for months and they are fine, and grow great. i just noticed caps lock is on. sorry about that. since i'm too lazy to rewrite this, just pretend brian blessed is shouting out this hopefully helpful advice.

Generally speaking, seed stocks are sold with the intent that the purchaser would use that seed within that year. As it gets older, of course, the amount of viable seed reduces. Like some other people said, it's likely an old description. The seed I got had very good germination rates..but some of it was being eaten by beetles.

I purchased this on October 15th direct from Amazon. It wasn't the 2014 version, but the 2012-2013 version. But I noticed the product image has changed to the 2014 version after I purchased it.

Not sure where you are seeing that date...but I buy this dog food all the time and have never had an issue with freshness.

no idea.. it threw it away. We had just ordered it from Amazon and used it that week we got it so I am assuming it was fresh.

I have gotten 4 boxes every 2 months for a couple of years and have never had an issue with not being fresh. Last box says 10/14

What they sent me had a current date. I hope that helps. If you get an expired date on any product, send it back.

Not sure how the date on the bag corresponds to what, but it was dated about1month before i got it. It's definitely fresh!

The only apparent date is the use-by designation: Jan 25, 2015. I purchased it in 2013.

Not sure what he means. How long has the product been in existence? Many years as I've been using it for about 20 years. How old, or fresh, is the individual item? I would ask the seller.

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

The back side, where the product is sealed, I found the date which is August 21, 2013. Now I bought the product around that time and have used it past the date and have not had any issues in terms of effects, but again I normally don't get any negative effects from using past the labelled date so it would be your choice.

I think they changed the product to better meet the shelf life. I don't think it means it's older but fresher. Dr Ohhira must have made a discovery in how to keep his probiotic fresh for longer periods of time. It's still the same inside. They just changed the outside.

Same concern I had, but am half-way through the bottles as the exp. date is 11/2014. In other words, they WERE within "date" and still fairly fresh! Hope this helps!?
