Wow that is chintzy! Better to not be in a hurry. I would try exchanging it for a more recent date of manufacture if possible? Tell them your intended purpose wasn't until the summer or fall. Do they offer refunds?

I've posted this several times before.

If it's airtight it will be fine, salt doesn't stop becoming salt, it's like morphine expires but I bet if you still took a lethal OD on expired morphine, you're still going to die!

If anything SN will preserve even better than morphine, it's a salt, a preservative.

It always makes me scratch my head when people bring this up, it's like food companies putting a best before date on a product, fine to eat it after but the food companies say 'if you eat it before this date it will taste better'.

I mean, again, that's a poor example as most food will go bad a lot faster than SN.

If I kept my SN well packaged and sealed and it was 50 years old, I could bet a trillion dollars that if I took it, it would still be night night.

By all means, you do you, I get people don't want to take any 'risks' and have their final moments jeopardised but, especially when SN is gaining more and more infamy, I'd hate for it to get banned and then people choose a more painful method of CTB even though they had 'expired' SN in the house but couldn't get a new batch.

If anyone finds themselves in that situation, honestly, the SN will still work. Unless you've kept it in really bad conditions and it's got wet or damp or something like that, I get that, but if it still looks the same as the day you bought it, that shit's still gonna work!

Probably a 'best before' date not a guaranteed expiry, as i understand pure SN salt doesn't really have a shelf life, as long as you keep it dry and sealed it should be OK.

Mine expires in October but I read in many posts that I could last 3 years if well sealed.

Well thanks for the info, i didn´t know that, I tought it expires. However I don´t know how it was kept in this 3 years:ahhha:. It´s airtight, don´tknow about moisture or something. But I´m planning on using 35g to be on the safe side anyway so it will probably work.

The PPH says if stored properly (not exposed to air) it lasts pretty much indefinitely

If well sealed it will last indefinitely, that was my point.


Take sea salt for example, or regular rock table salt.

If stored well will it lose it's chemical composition or saltiness after a 50 years, no.

If it's well sealed and stored I can't see there ever being an issue. I don't want this to come across as I'm actively encoring people to CTB, I'm not. I just feel the facts and transparency are important.

If I had 100 year old, well stored, SN and put enough into water, I'd challenge the person who claims that it's less effective or wouldn't work to drink it, because they'd have one hell of a nasty surprise.

Like I said previously, this is important as well because SN risks getting regulated the amount it's been popping up in the main stream media lately. If that happens, I'd hate for a member on here, who can't get hold of a fresh batch of SN anymore, to then choose a more painful and violent method of CTB, which will make their final moments more unpleasant than necessary and all because they had some SN stored away but didn't want to take it because they though it had 'expired'.

EDIT: At the end of the day it's still cheap enough and easy enough to get hold of, so yea, be safer rather than sorry but if it ever does get regulated just remember my words of advice.

This is just a guess, but if you do the blood test, and the drop of blood turns brown, then it is still capable of causing methemoglobinemia upon ingestion.

I would not worry too much about the expiry date. If it is a sealed container, and kept away from humid air it should last indefinitely.
