one of mine has air inside the blue package i can pinch it with my fingers, does this mean the exp date is no longer 5 years?

I am not an expert but yes it has lost its seal so it would reduce the shelf life. Hope this helps, use them up as protein bars and buy some more if you like them.

I would assume so... the vacuum seal is broken! I opened the pack I had where the seal was broken and it tasted fine for consumption now. Very tasty actually! Because of the weight it wasn't cost effective to return the packs, so we are using this pack up and saving the other sealed one for future use.

Yes because the package has been compromised. From others that this has happened to said the costumer service was good on returning the product and getting a replacement. Mine didn't have any air in them. So I suggest that if you want and get replacements, use a vacuum sealer like I did to give it added protection while being stored. I have them in me and my wifes bug out bags, and their still sealed even being tossed about while traveling in our vehicles wherever we go... Hope this helps.

Honestly, I didn't even check. Ours was finished off in a couple of months so well with the expiration period. Also remember that dry goods like tea leaves last quite a long time and even longer if kept in an air tight, sealed container. If you only open one sleeve of the tea bags at a time, you'll have less to worry about.

the expiration is on the seats. But it shouldn't expire for at least 5 years.

The brand I bought had an expiration date. That date was several years. Mine have lasted at least a year if unopened.

The Tube I received has an expiration date of 2016... If you purchased yours recently, you should see about returning it or exchanging for a fresher one.

I bought them in May 2014 and they expire Jan 2015. FYI, when I called Accu-Chek to ask why the red-box strips always read higher than blue-box strips, they told me they have discontinued the Comfort Curve. They sent me a free Aviva meter and 50 strips, as well as a ppd envelope to return my old meter. I don't really like the Aviva as well, but life goes on. Given the Comfort Curve discontinuation, the expiration dates on Comfort Curves will probably keep getting shorter, or counterfeits will start showing up. Be careful.

The package for these units are well sealed. They are marked that they should be used within 6 months after the package is opened.There is no indication that this life span in in anyway connected with the Computer chip. i suspect that the warning may have more to dowith the action of air on the ink. I have had no problem with age of these units and I have exceeded the 6 month time on my installed itemsSo far I have had no problem with the Brother inks not working because of age.

Just got a new one. It seems just a bit but I have a wicked sense of smell. I am sure it'll be mostly gone in a month. Doesn't make my hand smell after hours of use. I hope that helps.

I've had mine over a year... no problems. Each cartridge is packed in a sealed plastic "bag" that it seems to me would greatly increase shelf life and prevent drying out... but they are also not "open" until you insert them into the machine so I suspect the shelf life is fairly long.

I've had mine open for about 2 years and it is still fine.After I take some out I make sure the bag is tightly closed and remove as much air as possible.

I just got one that had an expiration of 2012... I would look to another seller for this... as the current seller PCNPRINT is selling expired print heads as if they were new (i.e. at retail prices).

Mine came in a different container. Mine is a pump. Both were sealed. I have no idea how to tell if or when they are expired.

I hope you kept your packaging. This happened to me and I learned the hard way that if the cartridge is beyond the expiration date, it will not work! The expiration date is on the outside of the original box. So it is critical you check the date before you open the box and install a cartridge that will not work!

On the box there is an exp date on one of the long sides near the top edge. Seems to be good for about a year.

At the bottom of the can, there should be an expiration date imprinted to it. I just checked mine this morning. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure, there should be a date on the package. It's good to keep it in the frig. If the package has been out in the heat it won't be good but you can tell if it is bad because it gets slimy.

The expiration date should be on the package. That is something you will have to ask the seller.
