Expired Hikari

[siebertn]

Hi All

Yesterday i bought 2 bags of Hikari Massivore but as i got home i saw that both bags expired in 2008-08.

Does this mean the food is no good or will i be able to still use it as the bags were sealed all the time?

Thanx

are you sure this is not a manufacture date?

i dont think fish food actually goes 'bad', i think it just becomes less nutritiously sound as it ages.

Ill have a look again but its the date in the white block at the bottom of the pack, i think its in the right hand corner

just looked at a bag and it is a best before date. I would take it back

Went through all my food and i found another 2 bags of Hikari Bio-Gold (bought from the same store) that expired 6 months ago, i need to start paying attention.

I always wondered about the quality of fish food after its been opened. I just realised that my fish are eating food that is over 2 years expired. The flowerhorn has grown alot in the last 2 months with this food as a staple. I will however go buy something a bit fresher for him today.

At least i know they will still grow lol

Well when your in Johannesburg, South Africa...are you suprised? I had the exact same problem with "biogold plus" around my area and no matter what I tried, they refused to acknowledge that they were expired. Kinda like they dont get credit from Hikari if they go past the "best before" date.

Yes it sucks but i should have looked when i bought it and they are the only guys around here that stocks a wide variety of Hikari
