Does anyone know why there are supposedly 6 NATURAL ingredients, but an expiration date of over a year? I bought a bag today, the exp date is JUly 201

Because the food has still been processed. But the food has 6 ingredients instead of the up-teen that are in other brands. Best thing is no corn. My dog get soooooooooooooo gassy on food with corn!

Its not nearly as natural as it claims. My dog needed twice as much to be satisfied and the label is very miss leading. I'd stay way from this one unless you are short on cash for a higher quality food.

Yes! There should be an expiration date located on the bag. At least there is one on the bag that I received.

Every nutri system box has a different expiration date. I'm not sure if the expiration date was on the outside of the box or not, but I do recommend opening the box up to check because even though the bagel in my box didn't expire there was mold on it. So open it and check to make sure.

Personally, I kept my first bag for 3 years (or longer) on the lower door shelf of my refrigerator and had no problems, at all! My second bag I kept for almost 2 years in the same place. I still tasted the strong brute flavor in my homemade ice cream and brownie recipes, which are chemical free. Love it! I didn't pay attention to expiration dates--just experimented for myself. If it had to stay 5 years in my fridge, I'd still use it. That's how confident I am in this product, based upon my usage. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the tardy response: I purchased three 1 lb 11 oz bags. Two are stored in the freezer and the one I am using is in the frig. I can find no expiration date on the bags. Possibly the box had one but that went into the trash long ago.

I bought mine from another vender. Just looked at the expiration date and it is an expired item. Never noticed before. However, I have been using and did not notice the difference. Since I did not ingest the product, I am not concerned, but will be careful the next time I order. Glad you asked the question. Made me more aware.

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.

As already noted, there is an expiration/best by date on the container. The last jar I got off Amazon was only "best" for another couple of months. I went ahead and used it past the date and had no problems with it. I keep an eye on these for sales and such in the stores, too, and the last jar I bought from a store I managed to get one with a longer date. The store only had a few on hand and the other two were set to expire very soon. I believe Garden of Life might be doing away with this line and turning to their "Raw" line exclusively and I think this might be causing a shortage of long-shelf-life jars out there. I will probably try out the Raw Probiotics next time I'm in need due to this. As already noted, there is an expiration/best by date on the container.

That's not an expiration date, that is the date when it was made. It will still be fresh, because it's in a sealed bag.

I buy 6 bags at a time and usually don't get to the last one until a year later. I have never had any problems! Once I open a bag I put them in a jar with a tight lid to keep them fresh. If you do that they should last quite a while and still stay relatively fresh :)

To answer your question honest, yes. There is an expiration date on every package. I have not had any problems except once and the bag was about 3 to 4 months out of date. I have 5 cats with one being diabetic and will only eat dry food. We were nearly done with the bag and all 5 cats started barfing. I then looked at the date and threw the bag out. Since then I haven't had any problems and order 2 bags at once. I have been getting this brand for about 4 years and all the cats like it.

Hmm. I've never thought to check the expiration date (blind trust in products being marketed through Amazon). Additionally, I only buy one or two bottles at a time, and since I use the supplements daily, the bottles are usually done within a month or so.

The expiration date for the product should be listed on the outside of the bag. Our product is direct from the manufacturer (we order new product monthly).

I have half a bottle of Phion Green powder it still tastes great . I am curious like you why they didn't print the expiry date like those of their other products . I think the best is to ask Phion balance company . I didn't ask them as mine powder taste real good yet I believe everything has an expiry date including human beings .

I've never had to worry about expiration dates as I love it so much and use it nearly everyday. Yet in all my years, and yes I used it for years, I had never even seen an expiration date anywhere on the container. My problem with it is that it is always back ordered, so I've finally (after a very long search) found something else that I like.

Interesting that you asked. I never thought to look myself. Apparently Healthy Origins put a bar code sticker over the expiration date, so it isn't apparent. I couldn't see it until I managed to peel the bar code sticker off the bottle, with some difficulty (good glue and flimsy paper). Underneath the bar code sticker is the lot number and the expiration date: 3878 JAN/2016.

Hi Joyce: The bottle I bought was some time ago and I already used the contents. The time you buy the product will dictate what lot you have and what the expiration date is. Normally its at least two years out, but can't say for sure.
