Is there an expiration date? I don't know how long it would take to eat 8 lbs.

yes my bags say use by 9-13-15 so that's more than efficient for us. I leave them in the product box and take out a bag as needed [4 to a box]. Remember this is a hearty oat and bigger flakes than processed instant etc. They seem to go quick though with breakfast, cookies and in bread making. very satisifed with this product.

The last ones they sent me expire Sept. 2015. I eat oatmeal everyday and I use it for baking so I use it up in a couple of months.

I just finished my last bag and noticed the expiration date on the package is apr 2015. I'm not sure what the manufacturing date is though.

I do a lot of baking, and have switched to the Honeyville farms 3.5 lb can as more economical. I find no expiration date on the can, but if a concern for you, type wheat gluten in the search space on your internet home page, and am sure with some reading, you should be able to find an answer.

I don't remember if there was an expiration date on package: the nuts were smelly when I opened the package: must have been there a loooong time...

This is not a food. You have to ask seller about expiration date. Date depends from item to item.

These instructions say to break it into small pieces and eat 1 bar every 6 hours... at that rate it would last 72 hours. Not that you would up and die 6 hours later but if you only had 1 package that's how long it would last until it was all consumed by one person. As far as nutrition goes the main ingredients are wheat and shortening, so it would be about like eating biscuits for 3 days.

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 don't know how long you can take it, but it did seem to loose it's ability to work well after about 3 months. I never lost a significant amount of weight but it did help early on with easing the snacking urges.

They say twenty five years. Of course I have no idea if this is accurate. I will say given the packaging it looks reasonable. But remember that what I tasted so far was not very appealing. Keep in mind that I am someone who can eat just about anything and be ok. My family would probably starve if given the option to eat this. Lol

To answer your question honest, yes. There is an expiration date on every package. I have not had any problems except once and the bag was about 3 to 4 months out of date. I have 5 cats with one being diabetic and will only eat dry food. We were nearly done with the bag and all 5 cats started barfing. I then looked at the date and threw the bag out. Since then I haven't had any problems and order 2 bags at once. I have been getting this brand for about 4 years and all the cats like it.

I wish I could help you, but it was for a gift! It was not for myself!!!! I will buy it again, then I will tell you if there's an expiration date or not. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

I bought mine in December.. couldn't tell you the expiration date since it was only a 2lb container and it's gone. Contact the seller directly, otherwise if its through Amazon directly I'd guess they'd cover the return shipping if expired.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what the shelf life is. It looks exactly like granulated sugar so I would assume as long as it is kept in an air tight container it would last a rather long time. I use it for baking and it has taken me at least 4 months to use the 5 pounds. Have only good/great things to say about the product.

There is no expiration date that I have on mine. I see them as being non-perishable and I have had them for over a year probably and had some of them a month ago and they were still good. I don't eat carbs much anymore and 6 packages for just one person is lasting a long time.

I buy the 25 lb bag and it lasts for about 5 months or more. I have a 8 lb. Chion. I put the food in smaller gallon bags and keep them in the freezer. The food stays fresh so I really never looked at the sell by dates. Sorry. My little girl loves this dog food.

My vet keeps them on the shelf unopened and I have always done the same. I have never looked for an expiration date, but unless your dog is very tiny he will eat one at least every other day. At that rate, they will disappear fairly quickly. For more precise information, you could call a local vet and ask them to look the chews up and relate the handling instructions to you.

With 822 servings it should last well over 2 years. That's what I need to know. Thank you.Edit: Hmmm, I wonder why Amazon deleted the answer the rep from Swanson Health Products submitted. I tried to thank her but now my reply is a new answer.

I agree with one of the other answers. My dogs, and I have 7 Standard Schnauzers, eat them so fast I have not wondered about a expiration date. They wait every morning in line for their biscuits. If I did not have them I would be in "big trouble". They LOVE them. I hope the company keeps making them and nothing happens to them. I can make my own but my babies love these so I buy it.
