how fresh are these can versus the ones found in stores?

As fresh as canned and sealed can be. The can I have presently is a 2018 expiration so that oughta tell you something, the exp. date is on the bottom of the can. My favorite flavor is the vanilla as it mixes well with any fruit or veggie I chose to blend with it.

I have bought this product before and am ordering again. I have some can's that are 3 years old and they look, smell and taste perfect after 3 years. Mine is for long term storage so I don't open it often but now an then I check them out.. so far so good.. hope this helps someone..

I've had some for years and they still impart flavor. Some more than others. Keep them dry in the tins they come in.

Mine came from "Best Deal Supply" and, like "kenniget" said below, they were fresh and had a long expiration period. They came in a small plastic bag. There was no retail packaging.This is a superior price compared to the retail packaging and pricing.

Sorry you don't like them this fresh. That's why they're so moist. We're all conditioned to expect the store bought variety that's treated with preservatives. That's to extend shelf life. Fine if you like it. I preferred to get used to these beauties. My only suggestion would be to dry them in the oven on a cookie sheet at about 200 degrees. Check them every 10 minutes until they reach your desired level of dryness. Good luck!

Hard to tell how fresh they are since dried apricots are never the same as fresh apricots. However, I like them more than most dried apricots because of the soft center that adds more flavor than California dried apricots. They taste fresh...not stale...if that helps.

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

I would agree with the other reviewer. When I ordered a case they remained fresh until they were gone. If you have a couple a day they'll be gone before it would be a concern.

They are freeze-dried patties ~they arrived packed so well that very few were broken. I cannot describe them as "fresh" because they are quite freeze-dried... but yes, they are "good".

mine had 2 years left when I got them. the date is on the label. if you get them on amazon the turnover is rapid so they have always been fresh

I do not know exactly; however, I bought a box of 800 months ago and I believe that they are still fresh. If you are going to use 2 or more per day, the box of 800 should be OK.

The cans I rec'd last week have expiration of 4/16/16. They will not last that long in our house!

I would wait. They would probably stay fresh, if they remained unopened but I would suggest ordering them around the end of August/beginning of September. I hope this helps :)

Apparently there is a long shelf life, I used several cans I bought in the 90's I found in the basement this summer and they worked fine.

They are dried and sealed... I have kept them in the bag sealed for a year without spoiling.... Once opened I keep on the shelf in the pantry - a dark cool place in a dry climate. If you have concerns put them in the fridg...

I hsve had mine for about a month. It is still fresh. In addition to sealing the package I also seal the package inside of a ziplock bag for double protection.
