I couldn't find info about the shelf life on the packaging so I called their 800# and found out. 800-231-1123.The shelf life is 3 years.

I have had some packages for up to 3 years or maybe longer if it got shoved to the back of a shelf. I always add at least a few tablespoons of real butter when I make up a packet of Butter Buds to punch up the flavor but still I have noticed no problem with the older packages.

I can find no expiration date on the box. I order this by the case and it takes over a year to go through a case and it's always the same flavor in every pack. I use it as a salt replacement for both sald and butter since I'm on a restricted sodium diet. If you buy it by the box you will find an instruction sheet inside with several recipies. If you order the shaker, it is more gradular but the packets I think are better.

I've had an opened one in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag for at least a month and a half and it still tastes the same as it did when I first opened it. The shelf life for the unopened packages are supposed to be 9 months. I've only had mine for about 2 but they still look just like they did when I got them.

I'm in agreement with Mr. Milligan, somewhere near forever. In all cases, shelf life is affected by extremes in temperature. Personally, I try to rotate similar products on a 2 to three year cycle.

It is important that you keep your shea butter in a cool area out of direct sunlight and dark of possible. The shelf life is about 12 to 24 months without adding preservatives. I hope this helps

Mango butter (42% stearic acid) has a shelf life of about 2 to 3 years due to its high level of stearic acid.

Not sure of the shelf life as it never lasts more than a few months at my house. I use it for frying and making homemade mayo that tastes just like Hellmann's. No smell; no weird taste. We love it!

Mine is still good for another 10 months and I bought it approximately 10 months ago. I think it would be good for 12 to 24 months. I don't use nearly as much as I thought I would so the double package I bought might not get used completely. I will still use past it's due date as it is mostly salt. It is by far the best seasoning for popcorn.

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.

I am not certain, but other flavorings will last a long time and I assume this product will also. I purchased three bottles and have not yet finished the first bottle as one only needs to add about a teaspoonful to batter or dough that does not have another strong flavor (such as peppermint).

Hello actually if you are referring to how long will it last once you mix the catalyst that is 4 hours but unmixed it has a shelf life of 5 years. Regarding the overall aging properties it should last anywhere from 18-20 yearsThank youGreg

Hi, I haven't bought the packets, only the loose stevia in a bottle. But as far as I can tell it lasts for years. I don't know if it gets stale after years, but I've used old powder and it's been fine.

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

Kept wrapped and dry. I can't see it "going bad" like rancid butter as there is no fat in it, just flavor. Mine is just fine and I love it. Molly McButter is much better but costs like flaming he**. Mike

The packets don't require refrigeration as it is a dry mix. I have used up mine so don't know about expiration dates on the product but I am sure they can be on the shelf for at least a year.

Thus far, the oldest container on my shelf was 2 years, I used it during this past holiday season and it still worked just as well as the first day that I opened it. Other than that one, I've not had stay on my shelves for more than about 16-18 months before running out, so I have no real frame of reference.I know that in the past, McCormick had listed it's flavorings as having a 4 year shelf life, except for Vanilla which was said to be able to last indefinitely. I can't imagine that other flavorings would be too different.

I am not sure of the shelf life. I had to stop using it because it hurt my skin (made it feel like it was burning).
