Understanding Expiration Dates for Redmond Life Products
When it comes to food and wellness products, expiration dates can be confusing. Redmond Life offers a variety of natural products, each with its own shelf life characteristics. This guide clarifies how expiration and "best by" dates apply to these products, helping you store and use them confidently.
Natural Salt and Seasonings: Long-Lasting and Stable
Real Salt: A Natural Preservative That Lasts Forever
Real Salt is a natural, unrefined sea salt that does not expire. Because it contains no water, it cannot support microbial growth, which is the main cause of food spoilage. This makes Real Salt a reliable ingredient that remains safe indefinitely.
- No spoilage: Without additives, Real Salt stays good forever.
- Preservative qualities: It is often used to preserve other foods like meat.
- "Best By" date: Although Real Salt never goes bad, packaging includes a "Best By" date about five years from packaging to comply with regulations. This date does not indicate spoilage.
Real Salt Organic Seasonings: Flavorful and Shelf-Stable
Real Salt Organic Seasonings also never expire because they are made from shelf-stable ingredients. The natural salt in these blends acts as a preservative, keeping the seasonings safe for long-term use.
- Indefinite safety: Seasonings remain safe indefinitely.
- Flavor considerations: For optimal taste, consume within a couple of years as flavor may diminish over time.
- Humidity effects: In humid environments, seasonings may clump but remain safe to use.
Earthpaste and Earthpowder: Safe Beyond "Best By" Dates
Earthpaste: Effective Past Its "Best By" Date
Earthpaste does not expire but carries a "Best By" date set two years after manufacture. This date signals when the product may start to lose some flavor or effectiveness, but it remains safe to use beyond that point.
Earthpowder: Shelf-Stable and Long-Lasting
Earthpowder contains ingredients that are shelf-stable and do not expire. You can store it indefinitely without concern for spoilage or loss of safety.
Re-Lyte Products: Best By Dates Indicate Peak Quality, Not Safety
Re-Lyte Immunity and Pre-Workout Powders
Both Re-Lyte Immunity and Re-Lyte Pre-Workout powders do not expire but have "Best By" dates two years from manufacture. After this date, the flavor and effectiveness may decline, but the products remain safe to consume.
Re-Lyte Hydration
Re-Lyte Hydration also never expires. It contains shelf-stable ingredients and includes Real Salt, which naturally preserves the formula. Over time, especially in humid conditions, the powder may clump but remains safe.
Redmond Clay Facial Mud: Safe Beyond Its "Best By" Date
Redmond Clay Facial Mud carries a "Best By" date two years after manufacture. This date indicates when the product may begin to lose some effectiveness, but it does not expire and remains safe to use.
What Do "Best By" and Expiration Dates Mean?
- Expiration date: Indicates when a product is no longer safe to use.
- Best By date: Suggests when a product is at peak flavor or effectiveness but can still be safe afterward.
Redmond Life products often use "Best By" dates to guide consumers on quality rather than safety. Many products remain safe indefinitely due to their natural, shelf-stable ingredients.
