What was the expiration date of the food? Is it newly manufactured, or close to expiration upon receipt?

Hi JM, I bought several MH products from various vendors, so I can't tell you anything specific about this order, though the process Mountain House uses makes their food good for many years. You'll probably use it way before it expires. I wouldn't be seriously concerned about the "expiration date." The company turns over all their stock about every six months, so unless this vendor has been sitting on their product for ten years, it should be good for a long time. I wouldn't worry. Besides, you can always return it free of charge.

JM, I do not recall the actual date, however, I did check the expiration date when I received the food and I do recall the date was several years in the future. If you are concerned about the date you can order directly from Mountain House, however, the wholesalers can offer better deals since they buy in volume. It is better to keep some on hand in case of an emergency and then rotate it out when the date get closer. You can give foods with an approaching expire to a local food bank or church that operates a food closet. I remember after the earthquake in Japan you could not purchase any anywhere. Good luck and God bless. JM, I do not recall the actual date, however, I did check the expiration date when I received the food and I do recall the date was several years in the future.

I looked at that when I got it and I do not remember exactly but I believe that it was several years. Worth it.

At the time of purchase, the expiration dates were a not close to expiring. Because of bulk and quantity of my order 3 days for 9 people, we has no issues of "older" product.

I don't think it would be expired. I just received a shipment a few weeks ago and as far as I know, the products are still good. Maybe just a misprint.

You need to check with the people you order from for date of expiration. I never have mine long enough to worry about that, it's always fresh.

I am unable to assist! I consumed my box of peanuts months ago. However, it was my belief the expiration date was months ahead. It is the first thing I check when I order / recieve food from Amazon.

My last bottle came without a manufacturing date OR expiration date. It did not contain Leucine either, so I know it was an older bottle. This company seems sketchy!

Dear Buyer, From now, I have a way to put the expiration date on the listing, but this item was shipped recently and I don't have the record. I'm sure that it is at least a year. If you will buy my item and not happy with the time, return it to Amazon, notify me and I will refund your account with the shipping cost. Thank you for your business UV Alfalfa

The last of the product I purchased in May 2013 was finally used about three weeks ago and still tasted fine. I kept it refrigerated until used. I have no memory of any specific expiration date.

I wish I could help you, but it was for a gift! It was not for myself!!!! I will buy it again, then I will tell you if there's an expiration date or not. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

That is not the expiration date. There should be a date on box when it's made and from what I understand they last about 6 years. Some are in codes with those dates. The inspection date is just that, they want the military to open and inspect the food by that date.

I have recently used the last of what I had previously ordered and have not yet placed a new order. I do not recall an expiration date on the package. There was never any issue with freshness from the product I received.

It does not last long enought here to worry about expiration date. You can call the company and they will tell you. Good luck and enjoy....

I wouldn't use it past the expiration date. Even though it's been refrigerated.

It must be an old picture, contact Amazon and ask them. I can't imagine Amazon would send expired cat food.

My last order was Jan 29, 2014. I order large quanity as I love the stuff and do not want to pay unnecessary shipping costs. Like all foods it will depend on when produced. I have one jar left and the expiration date is printed on bottom of jar. This one says 11/06/2014.
