Does this flour have an expiration date? I bought some and put it in a canister, tossing the bag, then forgot about it. Wonder if it goes bad?

Depends, I always keep mine in the freezer and it lasts forever. I would say sniff if and if it has a rancid smell, toss it. I don't recall if it does have an expiration date. Have just sued up mine.

I am assuming that it does indeed have an expiration date since it is required on about everything. I use a lot of this and have not had any go bad. Since it is a nut I think it would have a rancid taste and an acrid odor, but I have not encountered any thing adverse with the almond flour. Just give it the sniff test.

I keep mine refrigerated for 6 months but it can freeze for a year. Think of the shelf life of a regular bag of almonds. This is ground up so it can go rancid after a bit. If you leave it out you can tell because it will smell bad.

Oh dear, I did the same thing!! discarded the oackage. but I'm from the old school...If it smells good (not rancid or moldy) it probably I is good. just my opinion.

I just checked on my jar, and I did not see an expiration date. However, you are supposed to keep it in a cool, dark place.

That depends on how you stored the product. A whole grain flour such as this should be kept in the freezer for long term storage.If you live in a warm climate, and have kept the flour at room temperature for longer than say 4-6 months, it's likely rancid.Also, there can be a problem with weevil infestation....

The brand I bought had an expiration date. That date was several years. Mine have lasted at least a year if unopened.

I have used it a year ago and have some in my cupboard but haven't used it since. Sorry, can't tell you about whether it's shelf life it a year and still good. I will likey try to use it this year. It is sealed so should be good.

I had the same question, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were very helpful, and said that the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. We store it in the pantry, and it's just hit the one-year mark and is almost all used up, and in my opinion it's probably lost a bit of its original flavor, but it's still very good. Time order some more!

It has a very long shelf life ... My last purchase this year has an expiration of 7/2016 If you have a bag..it's located on the back at the bottom.

Yes. The expiration date is always 6-9 months out. I've been buying this and the bread mix for almost 2 years and am saving a ton of money! I put them in plastic containers in the pantry and am set to go.

Well, I packed it in vacuum sealed 10 lb bags and it lasted for 5+ months. I don't know if this helps you or not. But that was our experience with the flour.

Oh I am sorry I can't give you that date. I transferred mine to food grade containers and have them stored in the freezer. I usually use the bread flour in about 3 months and the others last a bit longer. So far it is still fresh in the freezer.

I made the same mistake - even sealed flour lasts 2 - 3 years MAX. What your are looking for is WHITE FLOUR (one of the many types of flour). It has a shelf life of 30+ years. Long after this administration is dead and buried.

Of course it depends on the seller (how old the mix is when you buy it). I bought mine at a Publix grocery store last month (June 2014) and it's "best by" date is Feb. 2015. Note that it is not an expiration date. It' just flour, sugar, baking soda/powder and salt. I typically keep grains in the freezer anyway.

The" expiration" date is on the bottom of the of the carton, it says, "best used by" with date. They don't word it out as "expiration", because it's a natural food product and does not become toxic, you don't have to discard it, just maybe take more of it. I hope, my answer was helpful. God Bless. Irene

Hi Patricia.....I bought a bag of this corn at the beginning of this month (August) and I just checked it and it says "Expires 6/10/2016....so that means approximately a 2 year shelf life. I am ordering it regularly and grinding it up for my backyard chickens and have been very pleased with it. Hope I've helped you. Pamela

It was extremely fresh when I opened the jar. After that I always keep it in the refridgerator and it keeps fresh until I use all of it. I don't have that jar right now so I can't tell you if there was an expiration date, however, I don't believe there was one.

I do not know. Imagine the same as any wheat flour. The box did not have an expiration date on it. This is the first time I have purchased wheat gluten - really helps homemade bread using wheat flour. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Neither the box nor jar the creme comes in indicates an expiration date. I personally would use it within two years, but if you're really concerned about it going rancid I think your best bet for a straight-up answer would be to either contact the company's customer service department and ask.
