What is the shelf life? Thank you everyone for the fast replies. The smallest order was 6 packs so I was worried they would go bad before I would be able to use it all.

Quite long, the shelf life. I keep my several packets of this rye bread in the refrigerator and take out each as needed. For me it keeps well during more than a month.

I really don't know but it is considerable. Generally, I break the package apart and put a few slices in each package and then freeze it. I defrost a package for about 20 seconds in the microwave and the bread is excellent. It is my favorite for toast. Yum!

Expiration date it is marked on the package. I ordered 4 times, each time I had 4-5 months of shelf life remaining. Until I open the package, it sits in the closet. Once opened, I put it in the fridge. I left an open package on my desk at work for a long weekend and 4 days later it was in perfect health.

I've had consistent success with all of the sellers on Amazon for this product, including Amazon. The expiration dates have never been less than 1 year out from purchase date for me so unless you are stockpiling it, you should be okay. I've used Amazon for a rush order but typically order the cases instead of the single cans due to the discount. Good Luck.

If you order from a reputable company, the shelf life are well within safe sell dates. Some expiration dates are from 3 months to next year.

Apparently, avocado oil has a relatively "short" shelf life. I've had mine unopened for a year, and there was black stuff floating in it! O_O So..... I thought it would be okay since my bottle was unopened and there's no expiration date. I'd say to try to have it used up in 6 months or less. If that's too much, buy a smaller quantity. It is possible I bought a "lemon".

From what I recall, my candies just came individually wrapped in a clear plastic bag tied with a twist tie. No labels, nutrition info, or expiration date. I still have a few of the candies (kept in their wrappers in an air-tight glass jar) and the ones I've eaten recently still taste just as good as the first ones (which I think I bought a couple years ago now). I tried searching online but didn't find a clear answer as to how long/if they go bad/ From what I could gather, keeping them in the fridge/freezer can extend shelf life, and they ought to be okay as long as they haven't gone white.

Mine came today and there was NO ice pack! So it has been in the 80's during shipment 6-18-14..are these worth taking? The bottle just says: Storage: refrigerate and keep tightly closed. My storage will be refrigerated but what about the storage before me? I will take these and see if these help. But for the price, if they were hurt by the previous lack of care for the probiotics, not a good purchase. And I will not purchase again and never know if they would have been good after all!

Back when I purchased these a while back I bought 2 at the time (1 for Halloween and 1 for personal consumption) which had a good shelf life. I'd say you'd be good for a few months in my opinion. In case you were wondering there's about 100 nuggets per package. I counted them out at the time. Hope this helps you decide to buy or not. ^Jim

Thus far, the oldest container on my shelf was 2 years, I used it during this past holiday season and it still worked just as well as the first day that I opened it. Other than that one, I've not had stay on my shelves for more than about 16-18 months before running out, so I have no real frame of reference.I know that in the past, McCormick had listed it's flavorings as having a 4 year shelf life, except for Vanilla which was said to be able to last indefinitely. I can't imagine that other flavorings would be too different.

Hello...each batch or group has its own expiration date from when it is made, so they aren't all the same. Generally speaking however, it appears to be at least a year if not more; again this is depending on the batch that your store bought or wherever you buy it from....I personally have never had a batch that has expired within a year after purchase. Hope this helps!

Hi MatthewThat is confusing about refrigeration. It should be kept in refrigeration while in inventory and especially after opening should be kept in refrigerator at all times. The short time during shipping and not be under refrigeration does not harm the product. There have been many tests on this subject by many companies and especially Renew Life well documented. I have been shipping these products for 20 years and we have never shipped with any type of refrigeration and there have not been any problems with products.Bobby House of Nutrition

I've just placed a new order which I've not received yet; but on what I ordered the very first time (of which I'm on the last 15 bags) has it's expiration date showing July 2014 - I know it's been over 6 months ago that I purchased the item, and I don't drink a cup every day although sometimes I drink 2 cups a day which makes up the days I don't drink any. I think there's plenty of shelve time before this item would expire if you enjoy drinking one cup every day or even every two or three days or more for that matter - pretty safe in my opinion.

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

Excellent question - I wondered this myself. From what I know, the bottles are made to order because of their short shelf life. Once opened, they have a shelf life of 30-60 days. If not opened AND kept in a dark, dry atmosphere, I believe they're potency begins to breakdown after 6 months. Because of this, I do not buy more than one bottle at a time, but you can decide for yourself how fast you'd go through each bottle and buy accordingly. If anyone knows better or has other information, I invite them to reply to your question. You may also contact the manufacturer for their version of what the truth may be. Enjoy the product!

I have a double pack that I bought in the pharmacy, not Amazon, that has an expiration of Sept. 2014. I use them so fast that I do not have any other purchased from Amazon. And even if somebody purchased some with a long expiration, it does not mean that your own order would be the same lot, Amazon changes sellers /suppliers often so you cannot depend on the dates being the same as what others bought. Your best bet is to go to a good pharmacy and check what they have. A reputable pharmacy may also be able to order a larger amount for you than they carry on their shelves. You cannot always depend on expiration dates from Amazon, even though their service is excellent. I hope this helps. v. e. m.

Apparently there is no expiration date on the jar. Only thing I can think is that it's supposed to be only a month's supply, so shouldn't have a chance to go bad. PLus, there isn't much in this stuff that could go bad. I find it lasts a little more than a month for my guys, and they do love it. It seems to work; my boys are healthy and happy. Hope this was helpful.

I recently bought a box of 4 packages. It does have about 16-18 months shelf life, pretty good because of the dried grains. I like to keep the rest of the bag in the shelf of the refrigerator with low humidity. I am not sure if it helps the freshness. This is not a recommendation in the box or in the website. They just recommend in a dry cabinet. I hope this is helpful.

I also don't bake often. I ordered a 6-pack in August 2014 and the expiration date is July 2015. I will probably use most of them during the Christmas season. I bought a 6-pack previously and they stayed good for about 14 months. Just store them in a cool, dry place away from heat. Or better yet, you can store them in the freezer to last even longer. They thaw quickly.
