Is there an expiry date for this product? The bag I bought does not have a "best by" date.

Yes there is an expiration date. Its on the back usually near the top. It will probably expire in 2015. I keep mine sealed in a plastic storage box and put the bag in too.

I don't know. In fact, I quit buying this from Amazon because the bag was too heavy for any of their boxes which always arrived open/shredded/generally destroyed. I'm now buying Rachel Ray Just Six and Newman's organic senior dog supplemented by the BIG bags of salmon & pea at Sam's.

Each bag should have an expiration date on it. But I have also used the gravy after it expiration date and still tasted great!

I agree with previous answers. No expiration date. Keep container closed well when not using and, if you feel better, keep it in a storage bag.

I bought mine in December 2013 and I still have some left from that bag and I keep it closed tightly and in a freezer bag. On the bag it states 'best by September 2016'.

I'm not sure if they have an expiration date. We just bought the big bag and kept it around to replace the used ones. I still have some left.

The bag that I received had expiration date of October 2014 I think. We used the gummys as part of party favors and it went well. I hope this helps.

I have looked at my most recent purchase and do not see an expiration date.

I never have received a bag with an expired date. Plus, this is a type of product that the date is not that important.

Sorry. I only used these the once and I didn't check for an expiry date. I've since switched to a brand carried by my local Whole Foods store, which is about the same thing. Did you check the bottom of the bottle? It may be there. Sorry I can't help you better.

I ordered a bag in March with a 'best by' date on it - not an expiration, of January 2015.

I just finished my last bag and noticed the expiration date on the package is apr 2015. I'm not sure what the manufacturing date is though.

There is a different expiration date on every bag. It would be best to ask the company who is offering this product.

I don't see an "expiration date" on the bag, but there is moisture inside...which accounts for the weight of the bag that probably keeps the microbes alive for much longer than 3 months if you keep it in a cool, dark place (say garage). Once the bag is opened and it dries, it becomes significantly lighter. Since it is so expensive I would not waste it on grown trees and shrubs and instead use it only on the seedlings, young perennials and annuals in flower beds. Cheaper compost would suffice as a top dressing for your trees and shrubs. I mix mine as a component in my germination mixes and it does not seem to degrade in quality even after a year for that purpose. I will never garden without this stuff again.

I never had a problem with the expiration date as I always ordered them only a couple of weeks before our annual pirate party. They arrive very quickly after you order them, so I would wait just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you what the shelf life is, but I don't know. My local supermarket (County Market) carries the large bags in the "Health Food Section". Maybe your local grocery store carries them, and you can get a better idea of the shelf life.

Since we literally finished the last of these snacks yesterday (!), I asked the manufacturer. Response was: The expiration date can be found on the back of the bag, towards the bottom. It looks like it was printed on using a type writer, and looks something like this: 12345678 XXXX. The XXXX would be the expiration date, 2 digit month then 2 digit year.

Sorry don't have the box anymore(to check for expiration date) but they are much better than the off brand bags. I would think they would last quite a few years as long as you keep them out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures because the outer plastic bag is quite heavy and well made.

I'm not sure if there's an expiration date, but trust me they're worth every penny. I've had a bag for 2 years and they always seem effective.
