how are contents dated for freshness?

I just received a box in July of 2014 and the expiration date is June of 2015. I haven't ordered for over 2 years because I still have some left. The wafers in the older order is just now starting to get soft and the juice is dark. But for personal communion, I still use them.

The box has an expiration date on it, but there's nothing on the individual cups.

I got a box that was close to expiration and it was not good. Grape juice leaked through some of the cups and the lettering on top was all smudged.

There are mystery dates printed on the side panel of the boxes. What they mean? Who knows. Perhaps messages to a celestial outstation. Freshness is pretty much a crap shoot with mail order. Pray in the HOLY GHOST for Good Communion. GOD BLESS :-D !!!

the expiration date is the manufactors freshness date. after that date they can't promise the item will taste as fresh.

Each bottle is sealed amd has a different date based on when its made. Once opened you will/should (if taken properly) use them long before they expire. Always fresh

I had partial can that got pushed to back of unused cabinet for about 4 years. Tasted and smelled and cooked as good as new. Sometimes the date thing is over-rated, in my opinion. No date on my new can, and I'm ok with it. I'm an older nurse, and for the first 25 yrs I worked, our drugs were not dated, no exp date, and they worked fine. Only exception was opened drugs--we dated them and discarded when directed by pharmacy. The outdated thing can help manufacturer sell more stuff, and we often discard things that are still good and perfectly safe. This is my own opinion.

I don't have the exact dates because I don't have the original packaging anymore. But that being said, the candy was very fresh and tasty. And I have ordered them more then once and I have never had a problem with any of them being old or stale.

I have recently used the last of what I had previously ordered and have not yet placed a new order. I do not recall an expiration date on the package. There was never any issue with freshness from the product I received.

The date on the product is the manufactured date so you are getting a fresh one.

no idea.. it threw it away. We had just ordered it from Amazon and used it that week we got it so I am assuming it was fresh.

Never bothered to look for freshness dates. It has always been (Cruz De Malta) best quality and I do not believe mate can get stale.

First, expiration dates do not reflect the safety or freshness of the product. The dates are artificial, made up by various government rules that have nothing to do with the actual shelf life of a product (even fresh dairy dating varies by state in both length and requirement). There is a date stamped on the box. However, coconut is highly self stable, not prone to going stale or rancid as some other oils are. It is sealed in a plastic pouch which keeps out oxygen, too. This is a product that I would not worry about. Even when I have kept the contents in a jar in the cupboard for a long period after opening the package, I have never had it turn bad.

Not sure how the date on the bag corresponds to what, but it was dated about1month before i got it. It's definitely fresh!

I cannot say what year it was, but it was fresh enough. Just bear in mind that it is so badly packed that you will be lucky to get 4 boxes out of 5 that can be eaten. I got about 3 1/2, the rest were crumbs.

What a GREAT question! The label reads "Fresh Pressed March 04 14" and "Freshest before Sep 04 14". Thanks for asking. I didn't think to check...

The outside of the carton/box that the packets come in has a printed Best if used by date on it. I have one I purchased in September, 2013 which says best used by 10/23/2015. So, you probably have about two years to eat yours if you bought it recently before it might not be fresh.

I see no dates on the product, but I do see what appears to be lot numbers. I have never had a problem with any degradation in performance between boxes over the years I have been ordering it from Amazon. Also, remember that the product keeps the ingredients separated into two different bottles, which you only mix right before application when it becomes activated. So I don't think this is anything to worry about.

On the side of the label where is says "freshness and potency gaurrenteed through" should be a month/year and a lot number. Mine was 4/17, so April 2017. You will have to look for yours.
