How long was the shelflife on the package? Are these nitrogen packs (Or whatever it is called that keeps the food fresher by taking out the oxygen?

I don't know what the shelf life is, but I just received a 4pack in October with an expiration date of 12/15.Don't know what type of packaging.

They do not appear to be evacuated. They are to be kept in a cool, dry place. Ours have lasted several months.

They are no nitrogen packs. But I would imagine the shelf life is still good with dried grain.

The oatmeal is in a heavy, well sealed cellophane-type material. I do not put it in the refrigerator after opening and it remains fresh.

I have never had a problem with food going stale in these bags. I do live in a very dry climate. I have been very happy with this product.

I hsve had mine for about a month. It is still fresh. In addition to sealing the package I also seal the package inside of a ziplock bag for double protection.

They actually suggest refrigeration, but I order these in bulk in 25 lb boxes and store them in a large kitchen cabinet, and I can attest that they last at least a year. I would like to put some in my food storage but haven't tried it yet. I think if they're dry packed in foil pouches or buckets with an O2 pack, they would probably last quite a while. The big threat would be rancidity, but since they have a very low fat content, I think they'd be OK. I can't see why they'd be any different than TVP.

I don't know what is the shelf life but you can ask the seller, I still have one open in my fridge and the other one in the freezer, they last for ever, I will buy it again when ever I run out, for the price you can't go wrong in my opinion, I really like it, and the smell is really fresh.

The shelf life is about a year, but I stick the extra bags in the freezer and extend the life of it. Believe me you will not have too much have it too long.

I believe mine showed to be about a year, by the date on the bags. But, if you pack it in a Mylar bag, with an oxygen absorber, it will keep for many years. I have several bags of various gluten free flours (Rye, dark rye, all purpose, coconut, oat, almond, and sweet white rice) packed in Mylar with O2 eaters, and stored in food grade buckets. If there's no SHTF situation, I will probably check it for freshness in about 5 years.

Hard wheat can last 30 + years in a sealed bucket, if temp in 70 f or lower. The key is low to no oxygen.. Mylar bag liners help.

Stores 3 - 5 years unopened #10 can (w/oxygen absorber) in cool, dry place. Once opened, average shelf life of 6 - 12 months

The oxygen absorbers are all packaged together. Just take what you need, suck the air out then re-seal. I use food saver bags, vacuum air out, seal then store in a glass jar.

I've read that the shelf life is at least a year, most likely up to two if it is kept well sealed and in a relatively cool area. I've been impressed witht the packaging on BulkSupplemts products; they seal well and are not prone to ripping, so you should be good to have them sealed and in a cupboard for extended periods.

Packed as is, probably about 2 years. Plastic will "breathe" slightly The contents could be repacked into glass canning jars and lids with an oxygen absorber appropriate to the size of the glass jars and amount of contents. and I'd guess extend the shelf life another 5 years.

They come in vacuum sealed individual packages, I cannot find any information on shelf life.

After I open the package, I put them in a ziplock bag. As long as you keep them airtight, they last a very long time.

If you can keep them in a Tupperware type container they should last a few days or longer.With this being emergency food you may not be in much of a situation to care about freshness though and I'd think each pack would get consumed pretty quickly after it was opened.

Oxygen does gradually cause LOS to lose its potency so I keep mine tightly closed and inside a ziplock plastic bag. I don't know what the shelf life is supposed to be, but I have had my jar for at least 6 months, and it is still good.

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.
