On 1/5/2015 millieshops said:Most expiration dates are sell-by dates and the product lasts much longer. However, lots of deterioration takes place once we open things, so just be sensible with open containers of anything. Look for texture differences, smell for odors, etc.
Good advice.
The sell by date system was implemented (by the FDA) to prevent consumers from unknowingly buying old product. How long you keep/eat/drink it once it's in your hands is up to you. At that point the grocers and manufacturers are off the hook from frivolous lawsuits should you become ill from ingesting something spoiled.

I find it lasts a lot longer then regular milk. I use it in smoothies.

I use the refrigerated almond milk. The expiration date is about 2 months when you buy it. BUT once you open it, it says good for 7 to 10 days I think. So what I do is write on the cap with a permanent marker the date I opened it. That way if it isn't gone in 10 days, I dump it and open a new one.

I've used my almond milk two weeks past expiration - no problem!

On 1/4/2015 baileysue said:I am new to almond milk and coconut milk. I am wondering if the expiration date is like regular milk and starts to go bad by the expiration date, or is it ok to keep it a little longer? I can't tell by tasting. It seems to taste ok, but not sure.
I doubt they go bad exactly on the expiration date .... you usually have more time because it's a "best by" date.

If unopened, they will easily last until the expiration date. Once you open it though, it only lasts about 7-10 days. I usually dump it at 7 days if there is some left as it starts getting "curds" in it. Gross.

I just go by what it says on the carton. I just looked and it says it stays fresh after opening 7 to 10 days.
I don't know what it is like when it goes bad as I dump it on the 10th day.
