Do I the gel packs ever expire/go bad? Or do I ever have to change the gel packs and replace them with new ones?

I have been using mine regularly once per week for a couple of months and don't foresee a need to replace them but maybe after a year or so who knows? If I boiled them too long accidentally then maybe that could ruin them and they would need replacing.

I have had this product for approx 6 months - and I haven't had to replace them. There isn't an expiration

You have to be careful with microwaving them....if its the microwave is too high or you put it in for a few moments to long they will bust....but I do like the product....just have to be careful

I don't think the tablets go bad. It's like Polident. When I bought these the last time I opted for a year's worth. Each one is individually sealed in a foil packet.

I have had mine longer than that and I don't notice that they are stale or 'bad'. I'm thinking b/c they are freeze-dried, they will last forever.

I didn't look at the expiration date for mine, but I imagine it would be fine if you kept them in a cool dry place. Call them and ask for the expiration date?

I understand from others they do last for years...but once used...need to be replaced. I don't know why Kidde didn't answer this question....I just hope they improve their packaging...

I personally haven't had any problems. It would make more sense to get these gels over the gels designed for the grid simply because you can use them when you're not using the grid system.

replacement is not an issue. the material they are made of is a soft gel-like material. it will not deteriorate, and is not affected by moisture.i use mine daily.

I'm traveling and don't have original packaging with me. I've used them for five years a box at a time and never had a problem. If they have an expiration I'm source it's at least a year.

I've had the same jar of builder gel for the past year and a half. It should be ok to have an extra jar, I don't believe there is an expiration date because it would have been printed on the label.

I did not have an expiration date on the ones I ordered. It has been over a month and the gel is still working.

We have not ever had trouble with this product going bad, we do use it everyday though. You may want to ask the maker of the product for detailed info about what they would recommend for expiration.

the one I bought has an expiration date on 8/2018, so they should definitely still be good and even used before they expire! :)

At the bottom of the plastic container; for example, the one that I am using at the present time shows the lot # and that is best by Dec. 2014. I do not know if it means it lasts until December 2014 or if it has to be bought before that date, but if that container has 360 softgels it lasts for almost a year; so, the one I am using will be emptied before December 2014. I trust Amazon.com and Nutrigold. I am sure they will not send me a product that is not safe and that it will expire before I have used all the gels. Thank you, Benny

Really good question! I got a pack out and looked, even used a magnifying glass. I cant find any expiration date. The last ones we ordered lasted several years before needed in an emergency. Sorry not much help!

It depends on when you buy them. Because they get them in new the expiration date changes. It is about a year or more. I have not had any problem using them past the expiration date. They were right with the doctors meter. So don't worry they will work for you.

I've changed printers so I don't use that cartridge any more. I had one problem with a vendor that sold me two already expired cartridges, but he credited me. I haven't had any problems with other vendors. That particular vendor has excellent ratings, so I would trust him/her. The great thing is that if you're not happy with a purchase, Amazon.com will make it right!

I have been using them for years with no problems. Just make sure that you flush them out the first time you use them. When the 3 months are up they are up make sure you change it. Sorry never have had a bad taste
