Is there an expiry date for this product? The bag I bought does not have a "best by" date.

Yes there is an expiration date. Its on the back usually near the top. It will probably expire in 2015. I keep mine sealed in a plastic storage box and put the bag in too.

I don't know. In fact, I quit buying this from Amazon because the bag was too heavy for any of their boxes which always arrived open/shredded/generally destroyed. I'm now buying Rachel Ray Just Six and Newman's organic senior dog supplemented by the BIG bags of salmon & pea at Sam's.

We never hit close to any expiration date... We would purchase 4 - 25 lb bags at a time. It took us about 1 1/2 months to go thru it

I bought 2 bags here, and there was plenty of time before expiration. Bought June 2013 and expiration is January 2014. Frankly, here may be better than a store keeping bags on the shelf a while. My dogs are little - so they don't empty the bag as fast. Plus, the price is lower here

I don't see an "expiration date" on the bag, but there is moisture inside...which accounts for the weight of the bag that probably keeps the microbes alive for much longer than 3 months if you keep it in a cool, dark place (say garage). Once the bag is opened and it dries, it becomes significantly lighter. Since it is so expensive I would not waste it on grown trees and shrubs and instead use it only on the seedlings, young perennials and annuals in flower beds. Cheaper compost would suffice as a top dressing for your trees and shrubs. I mix mine as a component in my germination mixes and it does not seem to degrade in quality even after a year for that purpose. I will never garden without this stuff again.

The expiration date on my purchases have always been at least 3 months in the future. We do buy the small snack size bags and have eaten some lately that we're left over from a July order and they were just as fresh tasting.

I agree with previous answers. No expiration date. Keep container closed well when not using and, if you feel better, keep it in a storage bag.

I do not see an expiration date on the bags...but I still have three bags left and looking through the clear packaging I see no sign of spoilage or change.

An expiration date is when the product is best used by. My bottle says Jan 2015, and I ordered it a while ago.

I recently received a bag that has a January 2015 "use by" date on it, so I suppose you should figure 9 mos - 1 year depending upon what lot you receive. Once I've opened bags, I kept them in the pantry without any issues that I've noticed, but perhaps others have another perspective. On a side note, I also want to add that this blend makes wonderful cookies in my opinion... tastes like "real" flour with no off taste :)

I bought mine in December 2013 and I still have some left from that bag and I keep it closed tightly and in a freezer bag. On the bag it states 'best by September 2016'.

i bought my 10 lb bag in the year 2011. About 1 1/2 years ago. The expiration date on the label states 6/2015. This bag will you last you a very long time.

Mine had a use-by date that was about 9 months from when I bought it. Each package has its own expiration date, I'd assume.

My bag says to store in a cool dry place, and that they keep "best" in fridge or freezer. If you are thinking 25 years, then they would probably need to be frozen. The expiration date on my bag was stickered over, so I can't tell what it is. Maybe the manufacturer would have more precise info on shelf life.

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 did not notice an expiration date. Sorry. I ordered my first bag in October and it is still great. I put it into a food safe resealable bucket. It is the best gluten free pancake mix I have used yet. Including a mix of my own that I thought was good until I found this one.

There is a date of manufacture and a date of expiration printed on the bag's label. The expiration date is exactly two years after the date of manufacture. When I received my order in 2014, the date of manufacture was in 2013, so I have a year left according to the date of expiration. My bag apparently was sitting on a shelf for 1 year.

I have stored it for a few months at a time. Especially, if you don't open the bag, it will stay fresh much longer. It should have an expiration date. It has always tasted fresh to me.
