I just got a bottle and I'm trying to understand the date on it. It says Manufactured on MFG 04/13 Freshness Guaranteed. So is 04/13 the "best by"?

Guaranteed potency TWO years from "Manufactured on" date- info from MFG website CS representative

Manufactured on means that is when the product was produced. It should be good for at least a year after that I would think.

We are unable to reliably give an expiration dates or manufacturing dates for any of the products we sell. The system is unable provide accurate information due to the volume of product moving through our warehouses on a daily basis. With our Swanson Brand we put the manufacturing date on the bottles. We guarantee the potency for two years from the MFG date on the bottle. We will continue to test and study our products to assure they will meet the expected shelf-life (in most cases two years from the date of manufacture, except for certain liquids and probiotics).

There isnt an expiration date on the bottle and I didn't keep the box it came in. Sorry, I never looked for one! It is the 3rd bottle I have ordered and I have not had any complaints. It is my favorite!

I think the HARVEST DATE is whrn it is harvested and immediately I feel sure pressed. The harvest date is on the bottle. The press date I didn't see on my bottle. It says on my bottle, FIRST COLD PRESS. The type of press. Its the harvest date that gives its freshness date. There is a best by date on the bottle too. Now let me go get some evoo and bread for dipping.

Hi, my bottle has the same MG 0414 01 I thought it was strange that it doesn't have an expiration date, the MG either stands for Magnesium as we all know or manufactured goods and 0414 meaning April 2014, there is a phone number at the very bottom below the information, I think it would be a good idea to call and find out to be on the safe side, so far this Magnesium has worked wonders for me, but I'd call just to make sure :)

I think Tyler answered this question the best but I'll take a stab at it. Being that we're the consumers & not the actual manufacturer I thought it would be difficult to answer such a question. I've purchased two sets of these sights & after looking over everything carefully I've discovered that the born-on freshness date for both mine is Feb 29th 2012. Indeed that was a leap year day but it shouldn't compromise any of the freshness of the product.

There is a best by: date on my bottle, which is about a year into the future. This is our second bottle of this, and it was good even after a year.

Hi Lucy, I checked my bottle before responding. I found no 'exact' expiration date. However, in small print on the back of the bottle it indicates where and when it was manufactured. My bottle that I bought last year, says 2013. I am assuming that's when it was produced. I am still using the same bottle and it's still effective. I would say a bottle is perfectly fine for up to a year. Hope this helps!

I use is within the first 45 days... and never looked. Just looked at the latest container I just ordered and there is no "best used before ....." date. sorry . I hope that helps.

Look on the bottom of the bottle for orange writing. It gives the "best by" date. That means use it before that date. There is a freshness packet in the bottle. Do not remove that or eat it. Just leave it in the bottle and discard when bottle is empty. Instructions on bottle recommend "store in cool dry place". In a special rectangle (right side of front) the bottle states NOT evaluated by the FDA; however, is does say "Made in USA". That is a good indicator for me. I do NOT trust the foreign made supplements statements of freshness or ingredients. Just my personal opinion. Be sure to read all information on a product BEFORE purchasing. There is NO way to know the truthfulness of ANYTHING in this world today, but my husband and I have been taking it for several years and we are "OK" for old fogies! Good Luck!

Of course you wouldn't buy their product past the expiration date! Why would they tell you to do that? They wouldn't. No manufacturer would. I just got a new bottle here on Amazon in the mail today and it says "best by 11/16" so they are very fresh. Got mine shipped from and sold by Amazon, so no third party. Why would anyone buy ANYTHING that's expired???

Just got my bottle a couple of days ago, no date on bottle, unsure of vintage. Excellent oil with a peppery bite. Tasted fresh.

It's just what the other two people said. Look on the bottom of the bottle. It's different for every batch of product depending on when it was manufactured. The bottles I purchased from Amazon were good for well over a year. I put mine in the fridge door to possibly extend the shelf life past the expiration date.

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 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.

I just bought some, and it has a date of 11/15/15 on it (today is 7/7/14). Plenty of time to use it. Also, for the other commenter asking about refrigeration, the bottle does say "refrigerate after opening". There was more info on all of this at their website redboatfishsauce DOT com

Hi, sorry I just notice the email. The note on the bottle said "Best Before 12/2014". And I bought them in about Aug. 2013. Hope this can help.
