The date question, answered with the two controls that actually determine the usable window.
The short answer
Yes — every pack carries its batch number and date guidance, and that date is the vendor’s commitment, made under the storage assumptions: sealed pouch, cool and dry. A pack stored well is expected to hold to its date guidance; a pack in a bathroom cabinet or a car dashboard is working against the chemistry every day. The full shelf-life and dating read is the shelf life post, and the storage rules are the storage guide.
The two controls, and the read before use
The usable window is determined by two controls, and both are the buyer’s. Control one is the storage environment: sealed after every use, cool and stable (a closet or drawer, not a refrigerator cycle), out of direct light — the storage guide is the rules list, and the chewable base is the one format detail that matters: it is more hygroscopic than the tablet, so a chewable punishes a lazy seal more (the format comparison notes the difference). Control two is the date itself: a pack beyond its date guidance is set aside, with the contact page open for the vendor’s position on a specific batch. The read before any use is a table, not a guess — date, seal state, appearance, smell, batch record — and the shelf life post has the full table, with the batch record as the row that ties the pack to its COA (the batch check). For bulk buyers, the pairing that keeps the math honest: the rotation should clear the order inside the date window for the oldest pack — the bulk buying post is the companion read.
