I see no packed-on-date. I do see a code on the end of bag 13119B . I do not know if shipped from company directly. http://lundberg.com/products/rice/bulk_rice/Organic_California_White_Basmati_Rice_-_25lbs.aspx

Same here. I have 2 bags currently and neither have a "packed on date", just some type if bar code. It seems like Amazon should be answering that question. I would like to know that as well.

I have had rice cakes stay fresh for 6 months but you have to keep them in a dry and cool place. However, the best people to answer this are the makers themselves. It has happened to me to receive a batch of rather stale ones, once, granted something unusual, and when I called them and they checked the dates, it was found that they were rather old and Lundberg replaced them immediately. But I had bought them directly from their site.

I keep mine in a cool dry place (cupboard) and have had no problems with expiring for two years and running. I noticed no appreciable degradation in taste or function even after two years in the cupboard. I eat it when the desire hits me and when it does, I might eat nothing but for days on end. I have even bought my own medium grain rice and ground it in my Kitchen Aide blender and just cooked it whenever. I tried the freezer route but it went bad on me. Somehow got ice crystals in it. Then someone told me to just keep it dry and it should stay good. It works for me so far...after a couple of years or so and still appears fine. I made a pot of it not too long ago and it tasted great. Good luck.

I bought ours at the beginning of December, and it's still tastes fresh to all of us. We kept it out on the shelf for about 2 1/2 weeks at first then in the freezer after that. No problems whatsoever.

it appears to be the same rice as the smaller bags , but my big 25 pound bag developed moths within 5 months . I had it stored in totally airtight containers. It us being replaced but I a will hold judment on it for a couple months . I t may have been very old when I got it ...not sure what the problem was, rice should have a long shelf life?????

There may be a use-by date but as far as I know the stuff is indestructible. We used up a bunch of wild rice not less than five years on the shelf. I should think that an air-tight container would ensure a long shelf ife

I understand that the the seed originates in Japan. I do believe that the Lundberg Farm grows the rice, though. There is a site www.lundberg.com where you can go and ask a myriad of questions about it, if you prefer.

A little late to the game, but I thought I'd mention I found one of these that had been sitting in my pantry for about three years, well over two years past its marked expiry date. It was still delicious. Given that it's a non-perishable, dry product wrapped in airtight packaging, as long as the packaging is undamaged, I would expect these to last a very, very long time.

That's not an expiration date, that is the date when it was made. It will still be fresh, because it's in a sealed bag.

I'm not sure of the shelf life exactly. However, I can tell you that we keep all of our grains (including this one) inside of an air tight container as shown in the picture and we generally mill and use all of the grains with no problem. I must balance this statement by mentioning that we have had a couple containers go "buggy" when the top has not been secured properly at some stage of the storage process. If this happens, it must be tossed. But, this has only happened a couple of times for us and never has happened with Mosher thus far. So other than contamination by insects due to poor storage, keep it cool and dry and wheat berries generally last years! I'm not sure of the shelf life exactly.

So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice. Brown rice is very good for you, much better than white or wild but it does taste "different" . I think the reason it does is that, basically, brown rice is a whole grain rice. Since it is suppose to be better for you than the better tasting rices, I suggest you try doing what I do and that is I mix my rice to suit my taste. Like you, I'm not really hot on brown rice but I use it nonetheless. I'll mix a 1/4 cup of brown with this Lundberg Wild Blend being 3/4 cup and it masks the 'chewy and funny' taste rather well. I also use soups as a base for my rice which helps the taste of the rice. So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice.

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 purchased this cinnamon in January 2014. The "best by" date on my package is October 2016. After filling my spice container I resealed the bag using the heat seal on my Foodsaver to make the package airtight to help preserve its freshness. So far so good!

Mine came from Bhanu Indian Grocery in late September and it's still holding up well in the fridge. I have it in a plastic bag with a piece of paper towel to absorb the moisture so it doesn't mold. (I don't remember thinking about the distributor, just trusted that anyone on Amazon would be fine.)

We are on the auto refill program with Amazon. We have been very pleased with the processed date - expiration date. My guess would be that they took this picture in the past. I'm sure if you ordered one it would be current. Besides when you keep it in the fridge it will be fine. Try one I know it will be fresh. Barlean's is one of the best. Good luck.

The company says, "No "expiration" or "best by" dates appear on our products. Instead, production codes representing date of manufacturing are employed. Our Kokuho Rose Japanese style rice, polished white and free of bran, is shelf stable for approximately one year." If you go to the company's website there are the instruction to decode the date.
