I emailed Lifestraw and this is what they sent me...LifeStraw® does not have a shelf life - we have tested it up to 5 years without detectable deterioration in our water lab, and there are no organics or otherwise unstable elements in the unit.

There is no shelf life listed anymore. It was originally given a shelf life as it was designed for constant outdoor usage in Africa where the sun would degrade the plastic over time. If you use it and store it, store it uncapped so it can dry out thoroughly.

According to LifeStraw."*5-year shelf life: Can be stored and used periodically. The shelf life is not reduced if the LifeStraw is used occasionally and then put back in storage."My words. If unused and stored in a protected environment, no uv, moderate temperature, low ozone, probably indefinite.

I believe it has a shelf life of over one year, maybe more! ...that's my experience, works great each time.. I buy several each yr for my use.

Not sure of the "official" shelf life..But, it is alcohol based...I don't think it will go bad for a while. I have just emptied a bottle that I got in 2005! And it was good to the last drop...so to speak!!

The stated shelf life is 2 years, but given the packaging, I would confidently use this far beyond that as the other responders have indicated.

It has a 24 month shelf life. The production and expiration dates are on the bottom of the can in day/month/year format

I don't know about the shelf life. What I can state is that would be better as a glue than anything else.

As a general rule, the shelf life is 9-12 months. All depends on how the product was stored in your home (a cool dry place). Hope this helps to answer your question.

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

I haven't owned it that long, about 6 months. But before purchasing, I researched it and most say it has a shelf life of about 10 years if stored properly. Don't break the seal and keep in a dark place, fairly cool and a pretty steady temperature. I repackaged mine in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers which greatly increases shelf life for most dried products. Hope this helps.

I don't know what the maker suggests as a shelf life, but the product is freeze dried and sealed in a waxed container so you can count on it being good for a long time....

I'm not certain how long the shelf life is, but I buy about 20 pounds at a time and so I have it in storage for several months and it tastes just as good as the day I opened the package.

The shelf life is 3 years. The can I purchased had a production date of Nov 11, 2012 and an expiration date of November 10, 2015.
