ARE THEY FRESH AND NOT OUTDATED?

they are fresh & expires in July 2014. I would reorder it again in the future. Just be aware that not everyone has strong jaws to chew especially older folks.

I have had wonderful luck with the kind bars from Amazon. They are fresh, soft and always well within the freshness date.

I have ordered these bars several times. They have always arrived fresh and they have lasted a long time in my pantry.

Yes, they were fresh. I liked them but they are very sticky. I tried both the fruit & nut and the coconut ones.

The kind fruit and nut products that I recently purchased were fresh and very delicious, and if I didn't eat them right away, I put them in the refrigerator, and they still had a fresh taste.

Absolutely! The two flavors we got...peanut butter and strawberry and the almond and coconut were both super fresh, chewy and delicious!

I'm not an expert in this field, but I do know they will last a couple months. Do not buy any that are close to going out of date. I did from Walmart and they were crispy and broke into a hundred tiny pieces when I opened the package. The one I got from this company, I held for well over a month before I used it. It was still fresh.

I ordered mine... Oh, a while back... maybe 18 months ago. They're still fresh. If you get batteries that are near their expiration dates, I imagine Amazon would let you return them to keep a happy customer.

I have had mine for quite a while, and they are OK. Don't know if there is a "best.......date"

They weren't stale at all. I buy worse at the grocery stores. I was seriously impressed.

Absolutely, they will stay fresh as long as the container isn't opened or damaged. Suggest maybe a tin can to shop in. They are great for long term storage also.

I'm sure the date changes. The ones I received were fresh and soft and stayed good for at least 2 months. They were fun to keep on my desk at work, throw in my purse for mini snacks and in lunches for extra treats. We liked them.

The expiration date on the I just purchase are for March 2020. So, I would say they are new.

Yes, the ones I just bought are good through 2015. They do not list the sell or use by date on the Amazon page. That might be helpful.

Same concern I had, but am half-way through the bottles as the exp. date is 11/2014. In other words, they WERE within "date" and still fairly fresh! Hope this helps!?

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

Yes they were the old fashioned individual boxes not sure on the experation date we ordered them in January and they were fresh for our event!

They are as advertised. They come with a 5 years shelf life. Other than that, I don't know what you mean by "are they new".

In general we have found Amazon's freshness dates to be quite satisfactory on the orgain products. Of the 20-30 cases of orgain products gotten from Amazon's Subscribe & Save Program none have been outdated. You might be able to have Amazon check the dates before ordering--worth asking their customer service. Hope this info is helpful.

I think they might be coming stale. I hadn't had this problem with the first 2 orders but since they have been exactly like you describe!

My answer is, NOT fresh. Mine just arrived, and I was surprised to see that they were NOT in a box. Just the round, foil-covered oranges, so there were no expiration dates. I immediately unwrapped one, and compared them to 1) oranges I bought last year, and 2) oranges I bought this Christmas (I was just eating them last night, finishing one and starting another.the chocolate looks old, with some of that whitish that appears. It does not have much, if any, of an orange flavor, whichis what happens when these age.

This is just anecdotal evidence, but I had my last order of these for 11 months before using them, and they seemed just like "new" or "fresh out of the pack" -- my opinion on the vanilla beans is that yes, everything loses quality with age, but if you start with a high-quality bean, you keep it fairly air tight (original plastic shipping wrap is fine), and keep it in a cool, dark place, you could probably go several years before you have a noticeable drop in quality, flavor, or aroma.
