Whats the longest shelf life for these? Someone is selling them with a 2020 exp. date. I thought they only have a 3 year shelf life.

On the package they sent me the date was 2020 (at least 5 years from now.) You can however use them long past the expiration date as long as the package is not compromised.

Update: all Z-Medica Combat Gauze products shipped after Feb 2015 have a 5 year expiration. http://www.z-medica.com/News/February-2015/QuikClot-Combat-Gauze---Announces-5-Year-Shelf-Lif.aspx

3 years is the shelf life. 2020 would be two years too long. Only buy from reputable sellers

Hi Sean. You know that is an excellent question; I assume you are speaking to shelf life?. I actually do not know the answer to that. When I purchased mine, I used them right away and never looked to see any dates of expiration.

They have been consumed by me already but i would say they had about a year left on the shelf life. I think it just varies with this company.

Well, I ordered mine in December 2014 and their expiry date was September 2016. Don't know what batch they are selling now, but I think it won't expire sooner than what I bought in Dec.

I do not see an expiration date on the package. But being a dried product, I would think, if stored properly, they would last quite a while.

They have a very long shelf life, even after they have been opened. My bottle has an expiry date of 04.2015 and I purchased them back in 2013.I don't even know if they need to be refrigerated.

I don't recall the expiration date as I was using mine soon but I would expect it would be ok cause they are dehydrated so should last for a while I would think. Almost think you could "google" to find that answer.

My last batch expires January, 2017. I always get long shelf life from this vendor.

Of course you wouldn't buy their product past the expiration date! Why would they tell you to do that? They wouldn't. No manufacturer would. I just got a new bottle here on Amazon in the mail today and it says "best by 11/16" so they are very fresh. Got mine shipped from and sold by Amazon, so no third party. Why would anyone buy ANYTHING that's expired???

I have kept it for 3 months now without any deterioration. I don't know the maximum shelf life.

I suspect we were sent knock-offs because ours came without any dating on them at all. It's fine that the listing at Amazon says they're good for a shelf life of 8-10 years, but that's only useful if there's a date on the package ... our has none, so who knows?

The "date best used by" has always been at least one year from the date I've purchased these. I am not sure about the "shelf life" because they ALWAYS get eaten within a few months - I buy them by the case. I store them in the cupboard in the kitchen, and they have never lost their crispiness, flavor or any quality.

Good question. They are shrink wrapped and there is no expiry date listed. Hopefully, they are fresh when bought.

Agreeing with the others. Ordered mine in June and they are good until 12/2013, so ~1.5 years from purchase date.

Hello, I purchased this item from AJ Wholesale. At the time it was advertised as expiration date after 2020. I bought these in January 2014 and the expiration date was August 2020. I can not speak for the other vendors as I did not see the expiration date advertised. I would check with current offering and see if it is still advertised that way. If yes, then buy from them. They represented their offering correctly.

I am ignoring the "Best by" date on mine. They are really well dehydrated, so as long as they don't get damp they should last indefinitely. Good for "preppers", I would think.

All the batches will have different expiry dates but the ones I purchased don't expire for 3 yrs. hope this helps.
