Pre-Alpin
Hi All
Does anybody know if Pre-Alpin has a sell by date ? I bought too much and still have a lot left over from last year. I can't see anything printed on the bag, but I would have thought it would only have been good for a few months despite being dried ? Thanks Robert |

so minimum of 6 months potentially...
But is it a use by or a best before? ie does it go bad or just lose nutrients over time? |

It will lose nutrients over time and could possibly go bad depending on how it's kept. In the freezer is always the best place to keep it freshest.

It's a best before date - "Mindestens haltbar bis: 10 März 2013"

To be honest the stuff is dried, Pre packaged up and probably stored for X amount of time in any event...
I can't see that it's going to make much of an impact by not using by the shelf life date. They are only meant as a supplement/accompaniment to the diet in any event. xx
