Ready to feed formula (including: Concentrated)
Closed cans - 6 month after expiration date
Open Cans - No more than 48 Hrs in the refrigerator.
Powder Cans
Closed Cans - 1 Year after Expiration (they last longer because they are vacuum sealed for freshness)
Open Cans - 6-weeks out in the open
8 to 10 weeks in the refrigerator.
FYI: Never buy any dented cans of any kind of can goods including formula (also powder products), because when the can gets dented it produce air pockets inside the product spoiling it from the inside out.

It should always be stamped somewhere on the bottle/box. If not, go to the store and ask them why it isn't - as freshness is important to keeping the quality of nutrients stable. I NEVER buy any packaged food that has no expiration date. Normally I have heard that you have a couple of months past THAT date, not the date you purchase.

powder formula last for a long time maybe even over a year, you just cant make a bottle and leave in the fridge for more than two days though because then it will be clumpy and undrinkable.

the expiry date is the shelf life date.Once the tin is opened your supposes to use it within that month of opening.
