Common questions

How long does gelatin (unflavored) last in the pantry?

3 years from the date of purchase. Storing it in the pantry after opening is not recommended.

How can I tell if gelatin (unflavored) has gone bad?

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
