I'm no chef but I used to cook a lot at one time and I had spices that were probably as much as five years old. The date to me means freshness but I couldn't tell the difference in a fresh spice and what was really old in anything I cooked however I could with some smell a difference in that they had a stronger scent. Hope that helps.

Hi,Expiration date? ..I am not the supplier nor seller....ask the supplier or seller . I am just a satisfied buyer of this item.

No, spices lose strength over time, I use more of a spice that I have had for long while to enhance flavor. For special occasions if a spice I need is old I'll buy a new one.

Spices loose their flavor/aroma/effectiveness with age - there is always an expiration date of the container

Sorry it took so long to reply! :( There is a date on the box, but it doesn't specifically say "expires on..." I'm still wary of anything that might spoil, so I'd consider it an expiration date. My hubs, on the other hand, doesn't think it'll make a difference. In any case, we've had this box for more than a month so they're good for quite a while. Hope that helps!

Mark I believe there is an expiration date on it. I keep my flaxseed in the fridge. Hope this helps.

I just finished some that I had bought around the holidays (2013), and they were still very good. The expiration date is 12/3/2015, so apparently they do last quite awhile.

No I have never seen any expiration date; nor has the strength ever seem to change.

The 'use by' date on the package is 2017. I think most spices are good for a year or so. This is in a nice glass container with a good screw-top lid. Should last you a good long time!

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

Depends, I always keep mine in the freezer and it lasts forever. I would say sniff if and if it has a rancid smell, toss it. I don't recall if it does have an expiration date. Have just sued up mine.

Look on the lower right hand corner of the package back to see the specific expiration date. The one listed on my package may not be the same as yours, but when the ingredients remain sealed, are usually good for up to one year from purchase date.

It's good for at least five years after the printed expiry date. No kidding,I found out from personal experience when I opened a can from a forgotten stash with an expiry date of 1994 -in 2001. Being rather intrepid,I decided to mix a batch and it was perfect. (In retrospect,maybe I was just lucky but it was still fine. No one noticed anything different anyway)

Yes, the flavor sticks inside are already expired. But the seller already cautioned the buyer about the expiration. I still think this is a great deal even with the expired item.

Pure Indian Foods has a FAQ on their website. I found it by using the keywords "ghee unopened". They use the rule I was taught. You can exceed the "best by" date if the product has no odd change, odor or appearance. My grandmother never went by the expiration dates. If it tastes, looks or smells "off" discard.

I'm not sure why you would be asking me this question.Expiration date doesn't concern me.All my proactive is always fresh when I purchase from any vendor.

I've heard from experts that dried spices have a shelf life about 1 year depending on the spice. Freeze dried spices may have a a 2 to 3, again depending on the spice, if kept from moisture and out of light according to experts. I've had mine for less than a year and it's still good.

Like all spices flavor fades with time. That being said, I purchased this in November of 2012, it has a manufacture date of May 2012, and a best before date of April 2014.

I ordered some last year, and it was already past the expiration date. When I contacted the seller, the reply was just...Don't worry about it. It's fine. I ended up throwing it out. Since then I've been told that they've discontinued it, so I guess they're just dumping their inventory. :(

The unopened jar I have in my pantry at present has a 9/2015 expiration date. I think you would be safe to order now.
