i think that each can has it's own expiration based on the date of production. I don't know how long each can is good for after it is produced, but it should be printed on the bottom of the can.

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.

I receive one container every two months and store in a pantry. They both have expirations dates in 2018.

I read that the shelf life is 1 year after the time of manufacture. There should be a "Best By" date stamped on the canister.

The expiration date on most canned food is appx. 2 yrs from time of canning by the company . It is usually stamped on the top or bottom of the can . The time of experation is greatly increased by keeping it in cool ( 60 degrees ) dark and dry place... My grandma always looked at the outside and inside after opening the can to make sure there were no rust mold etc .. She would than smell it for foul smell and the final test was taste .. If. It past her tests, she served it ...We buy food by the case and following all steps from cool to the taste we have had no problems after the experation date ... After opening you must refrigerate all food The expiration date on most canned food is appx. 2 yrs from time of canning by the company . It is usually stamped on the top or bottom of the can .

The best by date on my recent purchase is January 2015, but I have stored previously purchased packages for at least two years unopened with no deterioration of quality whatsoever. Once I open a box, a transfer to a glass cannister with a screw on lid to make sure nothing gets in the package. We live in Florida and seal everything and have never had a problem.

At the bottom of the can, there should be an expiration date imprinted to it. I just checked mine this morning. Hope this helps!

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.

Average 20-25 years. Cooler temperature storage will extend shelf life. 55-60 degree basement storage will give it 30 years

Shelf life is 1 year. A bit longer if they are refrigerated. Great for storing in the bunker in case of a zombie apocalypse along with Spam and Twinkies. lol

Don't know the answer...not sure anyone does. A quote from the National Cannery Association: "Canned food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Canned food retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of colour and texture. Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercially sterile. Food safety is not an issue in products kept on the shelf or in the pantry for long periods of time. In fact, canned food has an almost indefinite shelf life at moderate temperatures (75 F and below). Canned food as old as 100 years has been found in sunken ships and it is still microbiologically safe! We don't recommend keeping canned food for 100 years, but if the can is intact, not dented or bulging, it is edible."

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

I purchased mine around March, 2011 and they all had an expiration date of June 30, 2012. I still have part of a can left, and I really can't tell the difference in quality despite it being "expired" for 4 months now. It's hard to say what the date will be, but I haven't yet received anything from Amazon that was going to expire within 6 months.
