The expiry dates are way too far away and they are all sealed and I have not encountered any issues.

The expiration date tells you how long the product should be fresh. Technically, stores are not supposed to sell products past the expiration (or "sell by" or "best by") date. I've been buying Kind bars for several years from local stores, as well as Amazon. I did once get a box (from Amazon) where the expiration date had gone by and the bars had a distinct rancid taste. But it has only happened once. Since then I buy locally and make sure to check the expiration date. I think maybe they are more susceptible to going rancid because the company uses such fresh ingredients and less preservatives.

Pure Indian Foods has a FAQ on their website. I found it by using the keywords "ghee unopened". They use the rule I was taught. You can exceed the "best by" date if the product has no odd change, odor or appearance. My grandmother never went by the expiration dates. If it tastes, looks or smells "off" discard.

I would put date on bottle when received but doesn't go bad if left in refrig and use in allotted pill time one or two months depending on how much you use per day, When pill turns dark beige from almost white I would throw out. Only happened once to me. But best probiotics out there as I have used many others. I only buy on a two month basis so I know fresh from Amazon.

I would guess they are either the dates made or the expiration dates... talk to the company.

Not all products have an expiration date, since it would be meaningless. Would it go bad? Smell funny? Not work? Except for fresh foods (and even in the case of many fresh foods), dates are "manufactured"..labels are not magical metamorphosis manipulators..some things go bad slowly, some things lose efficacy (a little bit), and some things don't change, except over extreme lengths of time (toilet paper, etc). Good question, especially since it may be rhetorical :)

You need to check with the people you order from for date of expiration. I never have mine long enough to worry about that, it's always fresh.

The same as it is in any other food product. I have found they are fine to use after the date if stored in a cool area. I have a wondsrful no cook fudge recipe that I use this liq. Chocolate from nestle's in. I try to order enough to do for several seasons. This is so simple to use. I absolutely love this product!!

It's the manufacturing date and many of my health products come with a manufacturing date now and no expiration date of them. It's becoming common and I like it because it tells me how fresh the product is. Expiration dates on the hand are fairly useless because MOST (not all) health products become a wee bit less potent as time goes on. Most do not become dangerous and need to be thrown out. Most can be used well past the expiration date, I recently read on article on this. Anyway, the answer to the question is that it is the manufacturing date.

I see no dates on the product, but I do see what appears to be lot numbers. I have never had a problem with any degradation in performance between boxes over the years I have been ordering it from Amazon. Also, remember that the product keeps the ingredients separated into two different bottles, which you only mix right before application when it becomes activated. So I don't think this is anything to worry about.

Hi, you'd want to direct that question directly to the seller, by contacting them. This Question section is more for asking users of a product for their input. The one I received was very fresh. It is packed in my first aid bag, so I don't remember the exact date, but I was happily surprised when I checked it. Good luck with your purchase!

I do not have a new bottle to check (I need to order more), but I am very conscious about expiration and know the date on Posture-D was a long way off. I also keep the new bottles in the refrigerator until I'm ready to use them.

Hi, Yes there is a "use by date" on the back of the bag. The product I've received from amazon is good for over a year...but I usually use it in 5 weeks. btw - love this food!

I'm sure the date changes. The ones I received were fresh and soft and stayed good for at least 2 months. They were fun to keep on my desk at work, throw in my purse for mini snacks and in lunches for extra treats. We liked them.

First, expiration dates do not reflect the safety or freshness of the product. The dates are artificial, made up by various government rules that have nothing to do with the actual shelf life of a product (even fresh dairy dating varies by state in both length and requirement). There is a date stamped on the box. However, coconut is highly self stable, not prone to going stale or rancid as some other oils are. It is sealed in a plastic pouch which keeps out oxygen, too. This is a product that I would not worry about. Even when I have kept the contents in a jar in the cupboard for a long period after opening the package, I have never had it turn bad.

I can only assume that this is the date that the company feels the bar is at its freshest. Just looked at one of my bars and the date is a few months from now. I am sure its still OK for a little while after the date but its a quality assurance thing for the company.
