Is there an expiration date on these? Six bags would last a long time in my house and wondered how long they stay fresh.

Even after the dates, I still think they are great, but I usually like them in my hot chocolate so I dont care, they melt anyway. I have had my for a long time, still soft and good and several months past the dates. I know this is a late answer and you may already know this.

I'm honestly not sure if there is an expiration date on them or not. The packages are not as big as a pack of normal marshmallows from the stores, though. They are 2.7 oz packages, where as the average package of jet puffed brand looks like it's between 10-16oz. I had a couple of extra packages left over after making my project(sugar free moon pies for my dad) and I gave the extras to my mom for them to have as a treat.. I'm not sure if the bags got punctured or not, but she says within about a month, they got rock hard. I had them for a few weeks prior to use & they were as soft as can be, so I don't know... One thing, though... Once they get hard, i THINK you could still turn them into cream in the microwave. You just throw them into a microwave safe bowl & cook them for a brief time( watch them carefully because they may expand in the microwave quite a bit). Just stir them once they're warm & it's ready to use. It re-hardens quickly, but once it does, you just pop it back in the micro & stir it back up. You may be able to mix some butter in to keep it more creamy, but I haven't tried that yet. I have heard in reviews that you can use these marshmallows just like normal sugary versions from the store, so I'd like to try making s'mores & rice crispy treats with them next time I order some. I can not even tell you how surprised at how good they are. Anyways, this is turning into a novel, so I will end this. The short answer is that I'm not sure if there's an exp date, but it seems they do get hard within a couple of months(I was really surprised to hear this from my mom). I wonder if keeping them in an air tight container would extend the shelf life? You may want to contact the seller & see if they could tell you. I hope this was helpful in some way! Take care.

I purchased mine about 6 months ago. They have an expiration date of May of 2014. The marshmallows are still fresh and they are very good. I hope this info. is helpful. Debbie

Yes, there is an expiration date on the package. The ones I have are fresh until 7/2014.

I have purchased these in the past and obviously the expiration date changes with each shipment. However, I have always found there is plenty of time from time of purchase to expiration date. Some have been six months to others over a year.

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.

There is not an expiration date printed on my pkg. of vanilla beans. I have purchased them in the past and as long as you store them in a dark/cool place, they will last for several years.

I don't know for sure how long they last. You may need to check with the manufacturer, but as long as they stay sealed in the packaging so that they don't dry out, they should last a long time.

I keep these nuts in a tupperware container so I no longer have the original packaging for the expiration date. However, I have ordered these nuts before and they have been fresh for months when kept in the sealed container.

I bought some a few months ago (maybe 3?) and their expiration date is August 2015. I take two a day, so expiration date is not an issue, but it seems that they have about a two year shelf life.

I did not notice an expiration date, but I can tell you that they remained fresh until the very last one. They were in my candy jar for over a month, and each one was just as delicious as the one before. Hope this helps.

Holly, we use these for the children signed up for Backpacks for Kids, which is a food program run out of our church here in Port Orchard, WA. We go through a case every two months. I can check tomorrow evening for expiration date, but I know it is not within the two month period that we are looking at.

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

There is no expiration date that I have on mine. I see them as being non-perishable and I have had them for over a year probably and had some of them a month ago and they were still good. I don't eat carbs much anymore and 6 packages for just one person is lasting a long time.

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

When I purchased mine, they had an expiration date of 2/2015. I still have a couple of bags left, but i gave a few to friends.

I don't know if they ever expire as long as they are in a closed container or bag. They don't last long enough at my house to expire. LOL

I got a new batch which was only a few months old and did have a five year shelf life from that date. I don't remember the exact dates and they are packed in my go bag.

I don't think these have an expiration date. I just leave them in a cool, dry place and they are fine. I haven't used mine in 6 months until recently and it was fine.
