How long is powdered similac good for after it has been opened?
2006-12-31 06:54:06 · 12 answers · asked by pixles 3 in Pregnancy & Parenting ➔ Newborn & Baby
I meant after it has been opened, but not mixed with water, yet.
I am asking because I breastfed all my five children and only used formula very occasionly, and that was a long time ago. They have children now, but use formula.

If there's any doubt.. throw it out. You can't risk your baby's health. :)

Do you mean powdered Similac that's already been mixed and is in the fridge? Or do you just mean the can of powder itself? If it's already been mixed, I'd day don't push it beyond 2 days. If you mean the dry powder in an open container, it should say on the can or maybe they have a hotline or you can find more info on their website.

It says very clearly on all formula packaging when it expires and how long it is good for. Failing that you can call the company. They have a 1-800 number staffed 24/7 just for people like you.

i just read my can under the how to prepair a bottle it says storage and at the end it says use opened can contents within 1 month. Don't go by the expiration on the bottom of the can that is only how long it is good if it has NOT been opened.

It's good for one month after it's opened.

It says on the package- use within 30 or 60 days (depending on what kind, soy, etc.)
