Is there expiration date of the starter?

I would say no for all intents and purposes. That's because people who make yogurt do it very regularly like I do. I have bought this stuff 3 times and it works well. plus I only use half a packet (and a bit from the last batch) to make 7 six ounce servings at a time. I store it in the fridge but it came shipped in plain envelope and still works perfectly well. The last time I bought 10 packets and I expect them to last months or even a year. This is good stuff and even thou I live in a big city no stores carry yogurt starter.

According to Amazon's records, I bought this starter in 2009. I was going to use it, but misplaced it. I found the packs a couple of weeks ago and decided to try it using the crockpot method I usually use to make yogurt. The resulting yogurt was very creamy, well set, but not too acidic. Family members who don't usually eat yogurt have asked me to make some for them, so I am here to buy more starter. They ate my reserved starter yogurt!

No expiration date listed on the box, but if you don't open packaging until ready to use should not be an issue.

This does not appear to be an expiration date. Each can has a "best by" date stamped on the back of it. New purchases on my supply are stamped Best by 06/24/16. Please check the back of the can to be sure.

Yes, as others said, there is no expiration date. I simply added mine to my reserve.

The expiration date is on the bottom. The can unopened usually last 2 years. Opened and keep in a dry place can keep for a month and more. I used a teaspoon to scoop up the cereal. For starter, I give me son a mixture of cereal, baby food, and breast milk or formula. You can increase the amount of cereal and baby food as he/she gets older.

If you take some from your first batch and just freeze it in an ice cube tray you now have several batches of starter, and when you run out you can repeat the process up to 10 times/generations before it doesnt set up well. I only buy some starter about once a year and i eat yogurt almost every day. I have also found that time to set up increases as you get several generations into the process.

No, not at all! These are extremely fresh from the factory! Will check expirations tomorrow and give you the exact date.

Nope, no expiration date. Not good, maybe the can I just received is already 10 years old.How would we know?

I can't say for sure anymore, but I can say there was plenty of time before the expiration date. Definitely wasn't expired. That was the first thing I looked for myself.

I just checked. Nowhere on either the box or on the individual cans does it have any kind of a date. No "Use by" or other freshness dates. As long as it is unopened and sealed in the can, it is safe to assume it will last indefinitely (or at least many years) like any other canned goods. After you open it perhaps like paint it might dry out over a period of time but you can check it monthly if you have to.

I don't know if there is an expiration date. However I always put mine in an airtight baggie and then freeze, taking out only what is needed for that week. bam

I dont currently have a bottle of sprouts in my cabinet to check the date. That being said, I check the expiration on everything and I didnt send them back so I would say at least 3-4 months. (or I would have contacted seller to return).

Yes, there is an expiration date on the package. The ones I have are fresh until 7/2014.

Don't see an expiration date on it. We always use ours up really fast so I've never thought about that.

Not that I can tell. Mine had an expiration of 3/2015. This is more of a question for the seller.

Every nutri system box has a different expiration date. I'm not sure if the expiration date was on the outside of the box or not, but I do recommend opening the box up to check because even though the bagel in my box didn't expire there was mold on it. So open it and check to make sure.

I'm sure that depends on the batch but when I got mine the expiration date was a couple years out... It's not like you are getting some old stuff that's been sitting on the shelf nearing expiration!
