Where is the expiration date? Would like to confirm shelf life.

Question

Accepted Answer

The individual boxes of toasts do not have any printed expiration date. I note that the toasts are sealed in cellophane packets (6 toasts) that are quite tight. I've ordered this product several times and have never encountered any that seemed stale or have shown any degradation. I note that these are thoroughly toasted and have an extremely low moisture content, and are thus likely to have a very extended shelf life. Indeed, I tend to order a dozen boxes at a time and the last boxes from each order (I do ensure to rotate my stock to use the oldest first) retain the same flavor and freshness as the first boxes consumed (as much as 3 to 4 months after the first box in an order). That said, I doubt that they would "last forever" but among the various products of this nature that I've used, these are very stable and last a long time. So far, I have not had a "bad" toast.

I note that similar products from other brands also have a very long shelf life, so long as the cellophane packets are not opened. Once opened, a packet should be consumed with in a day or two, as when exposed to room air, they tend to absorb moisture from the air and eventually become "stale" tasting. I also note that I live in a relatively low humidity area (home has heat and AC that maintains relative humidity of 50-55% year round. Your mileage may vary, especially east of the Rockies where atmospheric humidity tends to be much higher..
