Whey expiration

[privy22]

I have a tub thats almost two years old but was kept in a cool dark place. Would it be a bad idea to use it?

Its safer to just throw it out and buy another in my opinion. Not worth getting sick over.

Unopened/sealed? if so you'll be fine. I used to sell this back in the day and know that it can last indefinitely under ideal conditions subject to tests and coA's approval.

2 years is a long time. even if it was sealed.. what if it sat at the store more time too?

the fact that something is still edible after that long shows that you are eating something not good for you at all.

It'd never last that long here lol

Remember that whey is dairy and can go rancid. Even if it doesn't smell, I would just toss it out.

It should still be fine to use. Smell it. If it has a sulphur/ammonia type smell to it - the product has gone rancid and throw it out.

If it smells normal and tastes normal, it's still fine to use.

By law, supplement companies have to put an expiration date 2 years after the manufacture date but realistically - the product will be good much longer then that. Whey protein should be safe to consume up to 5 years after it's manufacture date.
