Whats the shelf life of the entrees?
Each product is “best by” date coded — generally 3 or more years from date of manufacture. See brand variations in the above table. Although we hold an inventory, our sales volume and inventory rotation procedures ensure you have the freshest possible product. Expected shelf life is set by the manufacture and is based on the ingredients, drying method and packaging. Entrees including shrimp, nuts or dairy products have a shorter shelf life. Vegetables, fruits, meat, grains and beans can last significantly beyond the typical three years. Oxygen, moisture, light and heat are food’s enemies. Good packaging controls the first three factors. Storing your packaged food in a cool pantry will further extend it’s life. In the freezer, packaged dried food can last decades!
