When does peanut butter expire?!


Question:

When does peanut butter expire?


Answers:
If the peanut butter is packed commercially in a jar, the expiration date should be printed somewhere on the label or the container itself. If you are making it at home, with fresh peanuts, it should keep until you use it up if it is kept in the refrigerator. If you don't use it very often, you can look for the expiration date on a jar in a supermarket in order to get an idea of how much time you have. Of course, if you detect a rancid taste, you should throw it our, even if it should not have expired yet. This could happen if the peanuts used were not the freshest!

read the label

After about a year or so after you get it.

Read the label...

Date should be on the jar somewhere

ummm... when the jars empty,lol

peanut butter is good until one year after it is manufactured

about a year

Check on the jar, usually about three months after opening

it should say on the label

wen the expiration date is up

There will be a expiration date some where on the jar, usually it's about 2 years.

look on the can of it. it should say when it does. it probably expires maybe 1/2 year later. just look.

There should be a date on it- somewhere around 3 years I would imagine.

never....i still have some from 1973 and its tastes delicious after i pick the mold out of it.....

almost never

stuff lasts a long time---have eaten 4 year-old peanut butter before with no ill effects.

Is it government peanut butter? if it is, chances are it's already expired.

There are dates on our food for a reason

Because nuts and their oils go rancid. That's why all-natural peanut butter must be refrigerated after opening. I keep all my nuts and coffee in the freezer. It prolongs their freshness. Incidentally regular PB contains so many unpronounceable ingredients it probably lasts forever. Yuk.. Try organic all natural PB just peanuts and sometimes salt its great.

Look at the expiration date on the jar
