Once opened, does the Acacia fiber expire? Is there a time period when it should be consumed?

If you look on the bottom of your container there is a white sticker with a "best buy" date. Also, it states on the container to use within 12 months of opening.

Thanks, hadn't paid attention to that. 12 months is a long time.

It won't expire in that it won't become ineffective or somehow go bad new

Label regulations require a pack date and "best by" date, but as long as you keep the acacia in a dry place where it can't be contaminated by something harmful, the acacia itself will still be just fine and effective.

Best,
