Does anyone know what the shelf life is for Tajin? I want to buy but don't know what the expiration date is.

My bottle does not show any expiration date. You could go to their website @ www.taqjin.com or call them. They are in Houston, TX @ 281-754-8254.

Products made in mexico don't often provide that information, which is just one of the myriad reasons I avoid buying anything from that region whenever possible; I bought tajin by mistake (not investigating the country of origin). As I indicated in a prior review of tajin, the taste is already stale and dead-tasting. One can only assume those "qualities" will intensify with time. I dumped my entire bottle in the garden, hoping it would deter snails; so far, so good. I've resumed pepping up fruits and veggies using other quality items such as sprinkles of seasoned rice vinegar.

Just a wild guess, but most similar seasonings I find are good for at least a year- not much to go bad really.

If you reach a point where it expires, you aren't enjoying it enough. It is "made" for fruit, but I use it in marinades or even straight onto pork chops or chicken on the grill. A little sprinkled on corn on the cob is amazing. I even occasionally sprinkle a bit onto a bland salad when I visit others. I have given everyone I visit for meals a bottle, and also keep some in the car. Fruit is the last place I ever put it.

Hi Diana, Sure, I can tell you I bought mine in June of this year and the expiration date says Sept 2014. I would imagine it will last a little longer then that if kept in a cool dry place, it it's kept in a humid area it will clump up and be hard to shake out. I love this stuff, so good on fruit, especially melon! Hope this helps!

I am not at home at the moment, but I think it would be a long shelf life. It's dry spice basically.

At least a year, I bought mine in 2013, expiration date on bottle is 2014. You might want to eat it faster than that if you're somewhere humid though. I'm in Georgia and the humidity is making it a little clumpy.

I bought mine from another vender. Just looked at the expiration date and it is an expired item. Never noticed before. However, I have been using and did not notice the difference. Since I did not ingest the product, I am not concerned, but will be careful the next time I order. Glad you asked the question. Made me more aware.

Of course you wouldn't buy their product past the expiration date! Why would they tell you to do that? They wouldn't. No manufacturer would. I just got a new bottle here on Amazon in the mail today and it says "best by 11/16" so they are very fresh. Got mine shipped from and sold by Amazon, so no third party. Why would anyone buy ANYTHING that's expired???

They have their sticker on the bottle which states "New Harvest, Unfiltered, Cold Pressed, 100% Arbequina Olivs". They only imprint a suggested expiry date. By stating 'New Harvest', I would assume they would mean that it was harvested shortly before being offered for sale? It wouldn't hurt to contact Trader Joe's direct and ask. Regards, a fellow Trader Joe store enthuiast!

My jar does not list an expiration date. But if you need to know what the shelf life is contact the supplier at 1-888-540-1600 or www.wiseways.com. Hopes this helps.

Sorry. I only used these the once and I didn't check for an expiry date. I've since switched to a brand carried by my local Whole Foods store, which is about the same thing. Did you check the bottom of the bottle? It may be there. Sorry I can't help you better.

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.

All I can say is, I checked my "Best by" date and it was 12/14. I will probably go through a case by then. A biiger question is: Does it have to be refrigerated after opening. I don't know, probably not. I base that on the facts that 1) there is not a lot of refrigeration in S. Viet Nam and, 2) It is fermented. Nonetheless, I do keep mine in the fridge once the bottle is opened. I go through it pretty quick since it goes in 90% of what I cook.

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 bought Nu Skin G3 juice about a week ago and the expiration date is 4/15. Pretty much gives you a year to drink it. But I think you'll find it goes quickly. Good stuff!

Well, on my old bottle the expiration date is on the TOP OF THE LID, a place I think some are not looking at. However, before I buy more online I too want an answer on what I'm buying, so hope one of us does!

Hello! I've been ordering these noodles in shipments of 30/box for the past two years. The shelf life per box of 30 is about 3-5 months. I absolutely love them and it's beneficial ordering 30 at a time because it's most cost effective.

It's like the expiration date, but Miso will last a long time before going bad, and at times even longer as it's just the flavor that becomes weaker but is still safe to eat.Hope that helps. Just use it like an expiration date and you'll be fine.This is a good quality product.

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 saw no labeling information indicating an expiration date. I do not know any cart containing fats have a prolonged shelflife when refrigerated. So personally I go by color smell and taste to determine further use or discarding the products.

I have bought new sealed ones that were dried out, so I don't think the shelf life is very long. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The jar I have says 1 Jun 2015. I would ask customer service. They may have something longer dated on their shelf. I never have it around long enough to "expire".
