What is the shelf life of unopened all-purpose flour past the last date of sale?

Not sure if this will help. I ordered a bunch of these. The box I'm currently using I store in the fridge. The unopened ones, in my cupboard, have a date stamped on them of March 10, 2014, so I am assuming that unopened flour is good till then.

Good question. I used it right away. If I was concerned about expiration, I would store it well wrapped in layers or in freezer ziplock bags in freezer. I have always heard that flour stored in the freezer could be used up to a year. Storing a high grain bread such as this... I wouldn't feel right just storing it in a cabinet at room temp, these types if flours go rancid easier and faster stored that way.

As long as the package is still sealed and holding a vacuum there is no need to throw the food away! The expiration date is a date that stores can no longer sell that item. Use common sense and don't waste something that could save your life. I have eaten these 4 years after their expiration dates and they were fine. If your into throwing away money and good food then be my guest. Companies want you to discard the old product so you can spend more money restocking your shelves. In the military, we never threw anything away unless it was obviously inedible.

It has a very long shelf life ... My last purchase this year has an expiration of 7/2016 If you have a bag..it's located on the back at the bottom.

Expiration date or shelf life is the final day that product is useable.we also have ( sell by date ) that means the product can be sold by that day ,and normally can be used up to six day after the sell date.

Unopened I think it should last several months. Opened and refrigerated, I have had containers last as long as 3 months (at which point I used up all of the gochujang - it did not go bad)

Yes. The expiration date is always 6-9 months out. I've been buying this and the bread mix for almost 2 years and am saving a ton of money! I put them in plastic containers in the pantry and am set to go.

I have used it a year ago and have some in my cupboard but haven't used it since. Sorry, can't tell you about whether it's shelf life it a year and still good. I will likey try to use it this year. It is sealed so should be good.

Each paper package has a sealed plastic bag of flour within. Once I open the sealed plastic bag, I secure it closed with a clip, place it back in the paper package and store it in the fridge. I store the unopened packages in the cardboard carton in a cool, dark closet and have had no problems so far.

There is no known shelf life for this product. It should last indefinitely.

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

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.

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.

The package I recieved a few weeks ago expires July, 2014. Placing the bag in the freezer(possibly in a sturdy plastic bag, over the paper product bag, depending upon what else is in your freezer) should make the flour last longer.

I wouldn't use it past the expiration date. Even though it's been refrigerated.

Personally, I have never refrigerated this almond flour and I've never had any issues with it. I keep it in a cabinet under the counter in the kitchen and one bag generally lasts me about 3 months. I love this brand and definitely recommend it.

If unopened, it can remain on the shelf for at least one year. Check to see if there's an expiration date on the bottle. Products are usually good beyond the expiration date. But, if opened, refrigerate.
