Is the 5 billion guaranteed live through the use by date, or just at time of packaging?

Yes, the product is shelf stable and the 5 billion is good thru the expiration date.

the items I looked at had 5 year shelf life, and I purchased in late 2012, the exp datewas I believe july 2017. Just shy of 5 years

from the box: "Product contains 5 billion live cells when manufactured and an effective level at time of expiration".

I buy in quantity's to last over a year with no problems. I find no "best if used by" date listed.

That depends on when it was made and when you buy it. In other words the date will keep incrementing every time another batch is made. Generally speaking it is fresh stock with a 3 year shelf life.

I believe it is 5 years. I would check the manufacturers website to be sure.

I would imagine it depends on which distribution center you get yours from. I have purchased these for years and never had a problem, besides, you can use things considerably beyond the use by date. Also, if you purchase from Amazon and they are expired, send them back! Amazon stands behind everything they sell.

Yes, on each package. They look to last for several months, based on the dates on the packages I have now.

I have the same question without getting any answer. My smart (made-up) answer is: If you keep it in the pack and don't open it, its guaranteed for life!!!

Thanks for your message. This item could last for at least 5 years with proper usage and storage. Thank you Project E Beauty Patrick

I have no idea since I can't see the package. Use your eyes: I am sure packages were packed for sale in groups and each grouping will have its own "Sell By" or "Best Used By" date stamped.

I no longer have the box with the date, but I did check it on arrival and recall it has a long exp. date as I was concerned about that also.

The 30 billion are guaranteed until expiration.During manufacturing ,they have upwards of 60 billion ,according to company rep I spoke with.

On the package they sent me the date was 2020 (at least 5 years from now.) You can however use them long past the expiration date as long as the package is not compromised.

If it is from the Manufacturer and there is no expiration date--Yes. If within the expiration date --yes. If unknown, call or text the company. If it is not stated somewhere for certain--consider it a --no. If you buy it from B and H, most rebates are already taken into account in the final price, and will state that.Hope this was helpful--Steve

Depends on when you buy it but I have consistently received packages with 1.5 years still left before they expire--this is buying from a economy wholesale dealer, not some diabetic selling you theirs and not some low down pharmacy trying to dump stuff that is about to expire--I have never had a problem with this seller
