flax expiration?

[nikegurl]

last time i bought the big bottle of flax and just now saw that the expiration date is 6/8/02. it's still half full.

it's been refrigerated the whole time. if it looks fine, smells fine and tastes like it always does is it ok to use? can i finish the bottle as long as it doesn't seem to be obviously rancid?

NG! That is a "Best Before" date.....light, heat and air are the enemies of flax! The smell test was your best way of telling freshness, so you did good....now hurry up and take your flax!

Also, if it was short dated to begin with.....you may be able to see if the store you bought it from will replace it or take it back! We do here at my store in a second...althought that rarely happens, very rarely!

Of course, I'll always be Chickie to my pallies!

And thanks for the clarification! I thought John was trying to make some point about your entrepreneurial skills, which didn't seem to relate to the topic at hand! But now I understand that it was just yet another one of those random non sequitirs, having nothing to do with anything, that he tends to come up with.

Stands for HChick, which I am on another board. Summer is a slow season for hockey (the "H"), so I "blossomed" into a new name over here....
