Hello. How was the quality of bag when ordered through Amazon? Were the bags fairly new? Or close to the expiration dates? Thank you

We buy a bag every week and have never found the food to be anywhere near the expiration date. Actually, it is fresher than buying at my local pet supply store.

The bags were new and not close to the expiration - it's been almost a year, so I don't recall exactly, but I had no problems and it was very nice to have it delivered.

To answer the question, the bag showed up nicely packed and FRESH! Will order from Amazon again considering my local pet store sells this same bag for $65.

I've bought this three times now from Amazon. It's a few bucks cheaper than my local PetSmart, and with Prime it's a no-brainer. The bags were all fresh and nowhere near the expiration date, as D.L. answered.

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.

Who cares, if it is still vacuum sealed it's probably good, in the US they put expiration dates on things that don't even expire, a way to get you to buy new stuff. Tell Amazon to discount it because of the date, honestly, I think you will probably get current stuff. Will let you know when my new pack arrives.

I have never noticed/looked for an expiration date before, honestly... Just looked and couldn't see one on an unopened bag. My dog goes through a bag every 2-3 weeks, so I order 6 bags at a time, and they have always looked/seemed fresh to me.

I have never had any problem with expiration dates from Amazon, they are always fresh and sent with plenty of time to eat them before the expiration date. Hope this helped.

Sorry don't have the box anymore(to check for expiration date) but they are much better than the off brand bags. I would think they would last quite a few years as long as you keep them out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures because the outer plastic bag is quite heavy and well made.

My package says manufactured 1/2014, expires 1/2016 so 2 years unopened. I would imagine that once opened, you'd want to use it within 6 months for best quality. The bag is ziploc-style, but even in a dry pantry some moisture from the air will get in.

I ordered mine last August so I dont know expiration but they came in a giant bulk bag. They were fresh and very good.

just looked at my bags. No date. With the speed that Amazon sells product, I don't think that you will find old product.

I purchased mine about 6 months ago, the bag has an expiration date of 12-31-2016. Going by that, over 2 years I would think.

It must be the difference in stock. Probably 32 oz bag is nearing is its expiry date and the seller, which is Amazon, wants to sell it off before its expiry and that is why it is priced slightly lesser than 16 oz bag.

I see no expiration date on my bag of 250 packets. I am no expert, but I do not see why they would ever expire - they are in foil packets (that should keep any moisture out) and they are just salts that I think should last forever. Plus, it is the best deal on them by such a big margin, I would get then that way even if I was not sure I would use them up.

Wow ... just ordered mine recently, never checked the date until now, and they expire OCTOBER 2014! I am very disappointed ... when you buy a large bag, there certainly is no way that all could be consumed before the expiration date!!!

the last order I received about 2 months ago bags had expire date of 11/2014, so I would think this group will be about January 2015.

I just got a bag from Amazon two weeks ago. Expires in Feb of 2016. I bought a storage container similar to a cereal container to keep food in and keep it fresh.

I bought a package of these bags about 18 months ago and began using them about 2 mos. ago. (Had to use the old stock first, you know!) I am as pleased with them as the original Panasonic bags at a much better price. Hope this is helpful! Happy Thanksgiving!

I placed my order on July 24, 2013 and received it on July 26, 2013. The expiration date was 04/06/15 on the cans. They are not long term storage if that is what you are looking for. For short term supplies they would do very well. I hope this has helped you.
