What is the shelf life of these fruitcakes (unopened)? Wondering if I can order them weeks or a month in advance of when I need them.

I am uncertain of the shelf life. We used one and did not open the other for at least two weeks and it was still fresh.

As far as I know, these fruitcakes last for months as long as the package remains un-opened.

I would say yes ,preferably in a refrigerated drawer for ease of cutting and to avoid any reaction from lighting and heat.The Water Activity of these products is so low due to the high fruit content that mold or spoilage cannot develop under these conditionsLeave the cake FULLY wrapped to avoid the product picking up foreign flavors.Enjoy,we do !!

Not sure of the "official" time for the shelf life. However, I have several packages and have had them on the cabinet shelf for at least 6 months and they are still just as good as the day I got them. They do not lose the taste or texture with the shelf time. I highly recommend these as they are convenient and tasty. I use them for last minute mini desserts. Hope this helps. Betty

These cookies were perfect when I got them. I ordered them and didn't open them for about 2 weeks and they were still fresh. Hope this helps

Hi, I wouldn't purchase them so early. I just looked at my jar in the frig and there is no expiration date; however there also are no preservatives. It only says to refrigerate after opening. They are natural flowers in syrup. The only added ingredient is sugar. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if there was an expiration date, but the candy I ordered was good for several months afterwards. I've ordered twice & have been happy. The first time some got pushed to back of cabinet and the kids still ate them after finding them 8 or so months later.

You would have to ask the seller because no expiration dates are on the candy themselves or on the invoice. I buy them all the time and find that I don't have a problem as long as you keep them in the plastic bag that they come in and you do not get them wet or exposed to too much sunlight. Hope this helps!

No they will not if you put them in a sealed container keep in dry cupboard they will last forever, you need to order at lease 2 months in advance, some times things for cakes get to you fast but most of time it takes a while I order a lot of supplies for baking and found the sooner the better if your planning on a certain date! Good luck to you and enjoy they are really cute. Sereina

I kept them in my fridge, and I bought them in March and didn't finish them until June of the following year. They were just fine. No, I can't believe they can go bad.

I would suggest putting in the fridge to ensure that the cake keeps! But it does keep them for a couple days at room temp.....but if they have fruit you need too refrigerate! Or the fruit will mold.....

It is not too soon to order. They have a six month expiration on them and will actually still taste delicious if used beyond the expiration date. I always order a few extra because my experience has been that a few may arrive broken. Enjoy!

I think the grocer would be able to best answer. I have been ordering for a while but only shipping to the east coast. They have always arrived fresh and stayed well in the refrigerator until they are used. Good luck!

I've had problems with Nanobits (sp?) with stale cakes but never when I order form British Grocery. So just make sure that you order from BG and all will be well (and, by the way, I've never had to wait more than 7-8 days for my very FRESH shipment to arrive. Just check the expiry label at the end of the box - if ordered from BG, you waon't be getting stale cakes!

Most candy has at least a 6 month expiration date. It really is up to you when you decide to purchase. I don't think it would be a problem to order now. Thank you for your inquiry.

They're freeze-dried so I really doubt that you'd have to worry about sitting around a few months. All the moisture has been taken out so where would bacteria grow? I order it every 2 months, bit if you can't find an expiration date I bet they'd still be fine for 4, 5 or even 6 months. Whwn you look at the expiration date on a jar of peanut butter and it's for a year from now .... I really wouldn't be worried about theese freeze dried treats being 3 months old!

i too, am not really sure, i can only say what everyone else said, that since they are dehydrated, and sealed, i'm sure they will last a very long time .. not eternity, mind you, but a very long time .. but since they are so delicious i don't thing they would last too long . Yum !

I'm pretty sure these aren't intended to be stored in the fridge and weren't. I think dried mangos typically have a printed shelf life of about a year (quick google search - no official sources), but are probably safe for much longer. In my personal experience, dried mangos don't go "bad", they just get tough and chewy. I would recommend smelling them. If they smell okay, I would recommend eating them. If they are they too chewy to be enjoyable, I guess maybe write the seller about your experience and see what happens.

I'm glad you asked, I just received my order, the exparation date is 01/23/15. I didn't realize i needed to eat them that quickly. They are very tasty, but spicy. Hope that helps.
