What is the "best before" date on these jars of dehydrated garlic?

Hey Josette. If it's the same as other food and supplements, it means best sell by. I use a lot of this particular product, but bought three at a time, they last awhile. I've used it well past the date and it's just fine.

This is the closest thing to fresh garlic I have ever tasted but I have only been able to find it online. That "best before" date of course is just what it says...the manufacturers or bottlers best idea of how long their product remains fresh. Whether its a guess or arrived at based on tests, I have no idea but the product is so good, I don't really care what the date means. There used to be a comedian whose skit included the line....I like to live on the edge, I remove those labels on pillows that say do not remove. So I ignore expiration dates on Drogheria garlic but not on many other foods. This is the closest thing to fresh garlic I have ever tasted but I have only been able to find it online.

I ordered some on 12/17/13 and they arrived with a "Best if used by date" of 10/17/15. Hope that helps. I use the cream of mushroom primarily as a base for sauces. My family likes it.

A best by date is on the bottom of the can. The date on my current batch is Jan. 2017

The "Best Before Date", means that it is the freshest before that date. It does not mean that you have to take it all before that date, or that it goes bad after that date. It is just a recommendation that you take it before that date to insure optimal performance. I have certainly taken it way past that date, and it was still just fine. Just don't take it like a year after that date!

Specifically in the Drogheria & Alimentari, it is a date before which the flavor would be guaranteed at its peak. I have however actually used a few jars of this that were "lost" and were 6 years after their data - and their quality was not really affected. Of course, you should be careful to consider that it was at least stored in a dry environment as moisture could cause spoilage - but it would be noticeable. If it's within a couple years and shelf stored it should be ok IMHO.

I just bought mine around March of 2013 and the "best used before" date on the bottle is October of 2014.

Just ordered it, Amazon Prime through "British Delights"... Best before date is 8/2014, so not super fresh. Considering that the price is also steep, I'm disappointed. Vegemite twitter feed says best before date on Vegemite "tubes" is usually 12 months after factory production. There is a ton of anecdotal evidence of people eating Vegemite years after it's 'best before' date and not noticing any problem with it, for whatever that is worth, and some people even claim that it gets better with age. So, the company's 'best before' dating seems to be extremely conservative. Personally, I wish I could get it more fresh, though; I hate old food.

Mine says Best By July 2016, I've had it for a few months. I keep unused portion of package in the deep freeze to kill any possible bacteria. Costco Saigon cinnamon tastes better to me but Ceylon is supposed to be healthier.

On the bottom of each can there is a Best By (BB) Date. Example: BB 09 13 15 (September 13, 2015) Hope this helps!

I just received my jar and am looking at the storage directions now. "Best By 10/2014. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Use within 3 months after opening or refrigerate."So what this says to me is that, unopened, it's best by October 2014 (10 months from now). Once opened, it should be used within 2-3 months if stored in a cabinet (someplace dark and cool), OR it can be refrigerated to last longer, although it doesn't specify by how much.

My most recent purchase of witch hazel has a "Best By" date of 11/15 on the bottle. The date is on the bottom of the bottle. So, it apparently has a good shelf life. even without the alcohol.

I have re-hydrated them in a bag when they got dry. I found done herbs from 11/2 years ago I forgot about. The herbs were in fine shape and the packets were also good. These were sealed in a quart jar.

Look on the very bottom of the jar, there is a date but I believe after you open it expires before then.

I think only Amazon can give you the exact date. I bought this in 2013. The I think only Amazon can give you the absolute date for a bottle you buy today. I bought this in 2013. The "Best By" date was about one year later (2014). I have used 2/3 of the seasoning to date. The remaining product tastes as good as it did in 2013.

Don't know, looked on jar and could not find a date. Perhaps on box which I through away.
