Does this cod liver oil have an expiration date? Once opened, how long is it OK to use?

If unopened, they have about a 2 year shelf life. If opened and stored at room temperature, 6 months. If opened and refrigerated, even longer. (Source: http://www.backtothebooknutrition.com/best-cod-liver-oil-vitamin-d-omega-3/)

To my knowledge, Green Pastures puts a manufacturing date not an expiration date on their product. I'd contact them directly if you're concerned. If you go to the FAQ's on their website there's an audio explanation. I haven't listened to it because I'm at school, without headphones... Anyway, off the top of my head I'd say as long as it was stored in the refrigerator and it doesn't smell rancid I'd think it's ok. But to be safe, you might want to contact them. My oil has a pleasant odor so I'd notice if it had changed for some reason. I hope that helps!

If you visit the cod liver oil page at carlsonlabs.com, you can see that it is free of citrus, preservatives, milk, gluten corn, soy and something else. I am completly allergic to all of this products and I have been taking cod liver oil from carlson without a problem.

Expiration dates may vary, but the company says "best if used within 3 months of opening". With that being the case, you would need two children taking the fish oil so that it can be used within 3 months. I only have one child, so I also take the fish oil. We have had it opened for about 4-5 months now and it is almost all gone...and it still tastes fresh enough to me.

It is an oil and would last longer if refrigerated. Not sure on shelf life, but i figure a few months. I store mine in fridge and put a small amount in my bathroom for using.

The product does not have an expiration date that I can see - it is after all, in a sealed, air tight environment, which isn't opened until you pierce the seal by cranking the cap down hard. After opening, my ophthalmologist only wants me to use it for fourteen days after which I throw whatever remains away. Typically, less than a quarter of a bottle.

I stopped buying powder as there was no expiration date on the bag. Now, to improve the health of my liver and other bodily organs I switched to coconut oil and I LOVE IT!

You would need to check the expiration date on the jar. It will say...Best if used by... It does not clarify if opened or not.

I have had mine for over a year and it is still perfectly usable and works. I don't get sick with taking this stuff. I don't know of any expiration date on my bottle.

When using the word "better" you need to define paramaters. A naturally harvested cod liver oil, Carlson for example, is tested for mercury content and many other very dangerous chemicals that have found their way into most fish. Cod liver oil is higher in vitamin D content, the lack of which has recently been associated with MS, and several other very bad afflictions. On the less severe list of afflictions is joint pain, a feeling of just feeling crappy, arthritis-like pains in the back, and so forth. One of the better medical websites maintained by an MD who has been associated with vitamins and minerals recommends 2000 IU's of vitamin D per day but unfortunately, all this vitamin crap you find on the big chain store shelves is synthetic - which means you system AT BEST is only absorbing ten percent of what you take of the synthetic crapola. The Carlson cod liver oil is produced in Norway and even though a teaspoon only contains 400 IUs of D, it is very pure so your system absorbs it all. Unfortunately, to preserve the cod liver oil's freshness, vitamin A is added, which means that every teaspoonful of codliver oil also has about twice as many IUs of vitamin A. Excess amount of vitamin A can be hazardous to your liver. So, we can say that the naturally harvested cod liver oil is "better" because it has no contaminants and is far more easily absorbed by your system, but the higher content of vitamin A it contains to preserve freshness is not so good, which makes it less better? I am afraid of fish oil because most contain a lot of mercury, and purity has always been in question.

I think there is an expiration date on the bottle. I've only been able to keep for about 5 weeks after opening. But that's because I LOVE it, and drink it almost every day, when I have it. I never notice any difference in taste once opened and stored in the refrigerator. But, like I said, I've never stored for extended amount of time.

yes.....any time I've ordered ANY food product from Amazon - the expiration date (really more of a USE BY DATE) is always about a year in the future....and in the event you have a product that is past the expiration date, it should still be fine as long as you use the entire can when you open it.

It does not have an expiration date on the bottle. But for Black Seed oil, it's shelf life is approximately two years.

Not sure?? Haven't used this in a while, but liked it when I used it. I've been using fermented cod liver oil lately.

Hello there! It does not appear the Carlson Cod Liver Oil products are cold-pressed. You may find more information here: http://www.carlsonlabs.com/ProductLiterature/carlson_cod_liver_oil.pdf We hope this helps!

I'm not sure since I go through a bottle every six months. If you're keeping it on the shelf and are asking about its expiration date, perhaps you've tried it, and it's not for you. I love Mogador argan oil. Have been using it for more than a year, and for me, it does what it says it does. Perhaps you should try something else. All best!

Nothing in their 60 page product guide mentions an expiration date. They do state that all of their oils are grade A or therapeutic grade and 100% pure. If you want to email them, their email address is info@edensgarden.com
