The bottles lot # is your date. Example my bottle is DP130503. I was told this is the production date....May 3,2013. Bottle shows use by May 2015. I've been using this for two years & love the results.

Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date. It does come sealed inside and outside.I have never had an issue with it not being sealed or with the Lot info and best if used by info on the bottle. Also once opened it should be kept ion the refrig for freshness. My Vet recommended this as it was formulated by a Vet and I love it.I can put it on dry food with no issues or mix in moist & even raw. I love it.If your animal needs a single source of pro-biotic this is not a good choice but that is only known with trial and error. I have my 4 cats on it along with 4 foster kittens and all are doing wonderful! Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date.

All I can say is that I have ordered it twice, and I trust that it is a reputable company and it's well sealed. Not sure how you would know if it was stale unless the product had expired. At that point, Amazon would have to take it back. No lose proposition!

Glenn, I have been, so far and Amazon guarantees there product sources/stores. I know its real because of the funny smell. As for its freshness, it doesnt come with a date. My guess is they are fairly fresh since they seem to move. Dunno, but I keep buying.

i've had sellers swear that the date was the manufacturing date, but who can tell officially. shame this isn't readily available in stores to have some more regulation on it.

I checked my bottle and there is only a manufacturing date and not an expiration date on the bottle.

When I ordered the one that came wasn't expired. I think it's just an old picture.

I would have no idea because whatever information I put in my review pertained to my previous purchase and I have not purchased the item since. I do know, however, that folks don't need to get too excited about some of these dates as long as the product is not opened. I wouldn't buy supplements that expired years ago (because they lose their potency). To find out the current expiration date on this item being sold, please contact the seller or Amazon and you will get a reply.

It was manufactured April 2013. I have just started my second tube and the product has been totally fresh so far.

I have ordered this twice and both times the date was about a year from when I received it. I keep mine in the freezer to keep it fresh.

The expiration date is on the bottom of the box, mine expires in 2016, so it is all fresh and not out dated.

The battery I purchased had a manufactured date of 2013 on it and was new (unused) so I wasn't concerned. I wouldn't buy one older but that's just my opinion.

The one I still have some of was packaged in 2014, I just checked. I am not sure when I bought it, but it was in 2014, maybe I did an old form on Amazon and did not check the date, but all cat food I have gotten has been fresh, sorry for any inconvenience

You cannot tell if it is fresh or the amount of time it has been on the shelf. That has been a concern of mine too. The cleanser was great, however the moisturizers I also ordered were extra thick and didn't quite seem as fresh. The price is good, but you likely will likely compromise full quality.

I don't remember the date because I have thrown the box away (used the product), but it was NOT out of date.

Mine was new, but the expiration date was about a couple of weeks out, therefore I returned it since it would have been too old when I wanted to use it.

My latest shipment seems stale but the expiration date isn't for a while. It's a pain to return and we were out, so will just deal. Next time I'll order further in advance and return if they are stale again.
