When using in the refrigerator, do you go by expiration date of the condiments, or do you have to use the condiments much faster? Bless you!

I assume for mayo you want to use quicker but ketchup and mustard I just put in fridge and it was fine for months.

Always go by the expiration date! Which should last a long time. I have refilled my several times in a short period, we grill alot with friends and family and this is easier and less messy.

We use these at our weekly Bingo at my American Legion Post so we go through a bottle every two weeks of both mustard and ketchup so it never goes old with us. BUT the ladies do take the tops of each bottle and wash them out after each use so no gunk builds up in the small holes. The folks think they are neat because they remember them from the old days. Good purchase.

I keep them in the refrigerator and could not find an expiration date on the plastic container the solution come in. If they come in a outer box that may have had a date on but did not check before throwing away.

I'm sorry but I haven't bought these in over a year so I can't be certain. I would suspect that they have to show an expiration date. If it's any consolation all food items I've bought at Amazon have not been out of date, like mayonnaise, etc.

All of our product is fresh out of the box. It has not expired. Each product has a different shelf life. Of course you can use your product at home even after it expires unless you see a change in consistency. The date on the bottom is the manufactures date. Remember that certain things affect your product. Temperature is a big part. If you feel that a product is bad, all you need to do is return it for a replacement product. I hope this helps you! CJs

I've never had to worry about expiration dates as I love it so much and use it nearly everyday. Yet in all my years, and yes I used it for years, I had never even seen an expiration date anywhere on the container. My problem with it is that it is always back ordered, so I've finally (after a very long search) found something else that I like.

I keep mine in the refrigerator. They should last a few months that way. They are delicious!

mine says "Best if used by" which mean it doesn't really expire but it's gov't regulations. Realize it has salt which is a preservative! The date was 3yrs out. No question I'll use it- it goes on way more than meat and I cook a lot. The only thing that would ruin it is if it got moisture or another food got into it. Not likely to happen. If you don't want that much- give some away! I wish I had ordered more since my friends are not finding it in stores either.

I believe there should be an expiration date on the package. I would say you could keep them for a while at room temperature. After a week I would put them in the frig. The package is usually eaten up by then though for me. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Mark....I do not pay any attention to shelf life. As soon as I receive any of Bob's Red Mill Products, I keep one in the frig. and the rest go into the freezer. They keep for a long time in the freezer & I use one at a time and that one is put into the refrigerator. Hope this helps...great products

I have not frozen mine, as they keep fine in the pantry before an expiration date. I would hazard a guess, that the texture may be compromised somewhat.

I don't have the box so I can't recall the expiration date. While they do not require refrigeration, when at home you should keep in the refrigerator. If you travel, just keep them in your purse or carry-on bag and don't let them get too hot. I emailed Brenda Watson and she told me that is what she does. Also, if you do travel and have a refrigerator in your hotel room, put them in the fridge when you check in!

There are no expiration dates noted on any of my jars. I never went looking for that information before; just never thought about it. So, now I'm wondering also . . .

I did. They will spoil eventually, and last longer if stored at a colder temp....with such a large container, I needed them to last as long as possible!

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???

I believe you could, I can't say for sure, I didn't pay attention to the expire date when it was in the cabinet. My family used it so fast I didn't have to worry.

As long as the package is still sealed and holding a vacuum there is no need to throw the food away! The expiration date is a date that stores can no longer sell that item. Use common sense and don't waste something that could save your life. I have eaten these 4 years after their expiration dates and they were fine. If your into throwing away money and good food then be my guest. Companies want you to discard the old product so you can spend more money restocking your shelves. In the military, we never threw anything away unless it was obviously inedible.
