What is the shelf (storage) life for these little sticks if they were never opened?
143955
The package doesn't have any information on it regarding any kind of expiration date, but some larger glow sticks I have say they have a shelf life of up to 4 years. I can't imagine storing these little ones for more than 2 years.

As long as they remain sealed in the ziplock bag they are shipped in and stored on a dry cool shelf they should last up to 3 months. Do not refridgerate.

The shelf life, in optimal storage conditions, states 25 years from date of manufacture. just don't expect flavor with these though. Great for emergencies, not for good food.

I go through them pretty regularly but at least a few months if kept in a dark, cool, dry place . I keep my unopened ones in a cabinet in my cake closet.

I am uncertain of the shelf life. We used one and did not open the other for at least two weeks and it was still fresh.

In my house, not very long. I go through them pretty quickly. I would probably be comfortable storing them at least a year.

That's kind of difficult to answer since as soon as we get them, they're gone. Each one is wrapped in foil, each in a small box, and the individual boxes are packed into the large box which is shrink wrapped/sealed. If you weren't to take off the shrink wrap, I would guess they would last a couple of months depending on changes in temperature and humidity. I hope that helps. If you've never had them, they are delectable and there's nothing like them. I usually splurge and buy a dozen boxes around the Christmas Holiday since it was sort of a tradition in our home. Take care and have a great day and feel free to ask any additional questions you may have. Jim R. That's kind of difficult to answer since as soon as we get them, they're gone.

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.

I'd like to give a correct answer to this question but the truth is that I bought them for my brother-in-law who is a "Jelly Bell" freal and they never last long enough to find out the shelf-life but I would think a long long time.

Not sure about the shelf life, but I've had mine up to two years if stored in a cool dry place .. maybe even longer, as they are sealed in plastic....

I'd say awhile if you keep them sealed in a plastic bag. I had mine for about 2 weeks before our party-didn't open them and they were fresh and tasted good when we opened them.

They have a 2 year shelf life unopened. The quality of this product is unsurpassed. Although not required I refrigerate mine after opening.

At least a few months. I use them too quickly to find out, but I used a leftover box after about three months and they were good as new.

I don't know. I've never done anything to mine except use them (I don't cook a lot) but they are still in good shape and stick free.

There was no shelf-life indicated on the tiny sticker. Maker says 10-yrs....Hummmm.... Some suggest "keeping them in the freezer." I think that idea defeats the purpose of monitoring occupied spaces. Unless of course they are living in their freezers. :o)
