What kind of experation date is on the typical bag? I ask because it won't do me much good to buy a bag today (12/30/2013) if it expires in Feb 2014

I do not recall, but it was far enough out that my dogs had long eaten the bag before it would have expired. The seller can likely answer your question.

The one I bought in Oct 2013 has an expiration date of Sept. 2014. Hope this helps.

My dog enjoyed eating the food too. I did not look at the expiration date so I cannot talk to that. All that I know is that my dog really liked the food.

We bought 2 bags at the same time in Sept. and Mr. Z is on the second bag currently with an expiration date of July 2014. Great product endorsed by our Corgi.

Yes there is an expiration date. Its on the back usually near the top. It will probably expire in 2015. I keep mine sealed in a plastic storage box and put the bag in too.

The batch I just received has exp. date of Jan 31, 2015. I bought two so one I'm having now, the other's going into a secret stash for later!

I bought this a few years ago for a relative who is permanently on blood thinners to carry with her 'just in case'. No one is really going to be able to give you a solid expiration date up front. Firstly, it's going to vary based on the batch, when it was made/sold/etc. However I read up a little on this stuff a while back and various sources indicate it will work for many years (well past the expiration date), particularly if the packing as not degraded itself and is still sealed (if it's not things like moisture could get in for example). There are laws that require all medical items to have an expiration date, so it is likely shortened for safety/liability sake since it could potentially be a life-threatening incident when it is used. Still, if you are in my relatives situation I would buy a new one every few years just for piece of mind. $30 for a new bag OR possibly have it not work in a life-threatening situation? Not a hard call there.

The item I bought within the past year has an expiration date of 12/2015 on it - which means it is probably good beyond that date!

I never had a problem with the expiration date as I always ordered them only a couple of weeks before our annual pirate party. They arrive very quickly after you order them, so I would wait just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you what the shelf life is, but I don't know. My local supermarket (County Market) carries the large bags in the "Health Food Section". Maybe your local grocery store carries them, and you can get a better idea of the shelf life.

I ordered some last year, and it was already past the expiration date. When I contacted the seller, the reply was just...Don't worry about it. It's fine. I ended up throwing it out. Since then I've been told that they've discontinued it, so I guess they're just dumping their inventory. :(

I've had a bag open but sealed with a clip for about 3 weeks now, had a chip last night. Not as crisp as when I opened the bag, but still fine. As far as the printed expiration date I have no clue, hopefully awhile as I have 6 bags of it.

I have no clue! I never look for expiration dates, much less on tea bags.....

I ordered a bag in March with a 'best by' date on it - not an expiration, of January 2015.

I just finished my last bag and noticed the expiration date on the package is apr 2015. I'm not sure what the manufacturing date is though.

The last bag I bought was delivered early August. It has an expiration date of 05/2015. I can always finish before expiration dates.

On the 2 bags I purchased in Dec, 2014 the best buy date is Dec., 2015. I assume it is the same for all bags.

I bought mine in December 2013 and I still have some left from that bag and I keep it closed tightly and in a freezer bag. On the bag it states 'best by September 2016'.

The expiration date for the product should be listed on the outside of the bag. Our product is direct from the manufacturer (we order new product monthly).

Bought Jun 17 2013 and it says 2014/08/31. You could still keep it everything is ok as long as you store it right. Just finish reading OffGrid (magazine) and theres a article about exp dates.

it was like 5/2014 .. or maybe it was 7/2014 No need to worry about the expire date because if they do sell them they will be unlawful
