How long is the formula good for after container has been opened?

There should be an expiration date on the bottom of the container that you can go by. As long as it's sealed tightly and not exposed to extreme temperature changes I would think it should be fine to the expiration date. Similac recommends storing open containers in a cool dry place (not in the refrigerator).

According to the website and package, store powdered formula containers covered, in a cool, dry place, not in the refrigerator. Use contents within one month. Once mixed, feed immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container and use within 24 hours. Don't leave prepared formula at room temperature. And don't freeze, because doing so can cause the fat to separate.

It is good for 30 days per the instructions on the box. I usually write the date I opened it on the box to remind me.

I wouldn't go beyond what would be normal for left overs. So maybe 3-5 days. However they are freezer safe so you can make a bunch of baby food up and then freeze a ton. This never ends up working for us, I only have 4 pouches and my son is 12mos, so we go through all four in one day :)

Three months after opening the container. Not sure how long without opening the container. JJK

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

You have one hour to use it if it is the same bottle. If it is still in the container and hasn't been put in bottle/fed to baby, it's fine in fridge for 24 hours

I would imagine you should start to use it up soon after opening to retain the freshness but there isn't a whole lot of product so it does not takes years to do this! (It will be gone within a few months of use if used regularly.)

I'd guess at least a year. I've used the same container for that long and it was fine

It varies. But at least a year. They will not sell expired formula. I used up my can already. But if I had it wouldn't matter because the one they sell you will have a different date anyway.

Only after it's opened. I use to buy it by the case. Just refrigerated the one I was using at the time

After you open the container keep it in the fridge. If it is kept cold, clean and protected (sealed) it may last 6 to 8 months.Jose San Honorio

I'm sorry... I don't know the answer to your question. But you might want to check the "best if used by" date on the container.

If you haven't opened the bottle then it will last for a long time. I have had no problems with being unused for long periods of time.

What I understand is that it is about 1 year in the unopened container. Once it is opened it is only good for 2 or 3 weeks.

The longer it's in your water the safer it is. 30 minutes is the recommended time and on the bottle there should be a peel hear label where you can find more information. I would also suggest using them up in a weak because the Iodine tablets will start to decompose after opening.

"Best if used 3 months after opening." No date. Refrigerate after opening. Like any other oil, self life varies, but refrigeration prolongs & you'll smell when it's losing is freshness.

The can itself does not say how long its good for once it's open. Opened, the can has a shelf life of 6 to 12 months depending on how well you store it. It does not require refrigeration in powder form.

Yes the bottle says to refrigerate after opening. But I would make sure you sit it on something, I use a upside down plastic lid, because it will stain if it gets on something. It also has an expiration date that is usually quite long.
