What is the expiry time on protein powder (i.e. a whey protein weight gainer) ?
I bought some almost 2 years ago which supposedly expired in July but I was at the supplements store and the person at the cash said that protein doesn't really expire as long as it's stored properly and that they put an expiry date on it because 'everything in Canada has to have an expiry date'. This protein is unopened still in the oroginal container and I was wondering if I should give it a try?

It's safe. Protein powder is good basically forever so long as it's kept dry.

Pretty sure it is safe to consume. It's not like it's fresh grocery. Most of the time, they put expiration date shorter is because it's easier to "prove" that something is still good after 2 years, v.s. it is still good after 3 years. Don't you want to market your product sooner, instead of waiting in the lab to be tested? At most, it loses some potency.

Well as I was reading I was thinking "throw it out throw it out..."...But if its is unopened I think that makes a big difference it still has its seal and hasn't been affected by the air or anything...So if it was me...Ya I would drink it...Its only a couple months over...And hey...If it tastes like **** obviously spit out and dump!
