Keebler Crackers Expiration Date
Tips • How long does an unopened package of crackers last? The precise answer depends to a large extent on storage conditions -to maximize the shelf life of crackers (including saltines, water crackers, rice crackers, oyster crackers and animal crackers) store in a cool, dry area. • Properly stored, an unopened package of crackers will generally stay at best quality for about 6 to 9 months. • Are unopened crackers safe to use after the 'expiration' date on the package? Yes, provided they are properly stored and the package is undamaged - commercially packaged crackers will typically carry a ' Best By,' 'Best if Used By,' 'Best Before', or 'Best When Used By' date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the crackers will remain at peak quality. • Storage time shown is for best quality only - after that, the crackers' texture, color or flavor may change, but in most cases, they will still be safe to consume if they have been stored properly, the package is undamaged, and there are no signs of spoilage (see below). • How can you tell if crackers are bad or spoiled?
After seeing yesterday’s post regarding the confusing expiration codes found on some foods, Brian sent The Consumerist a handy cheat sheet explaining the various code format, found inside. The key is to understand that the expiration date is presented in “MMDDY” format — the first two digits represent the month, the next two digits are the day of the month, and the final digit is the year.
The best way is to smell and look at the crackers: if crackers develop an off odor, flavor or appearance, or if mold appears, they should be discarded. Sources: For details about data sources used for food storage information, please.
0 Votes I, too, just had the same experience with Nabisco Original Premium Saltine Crackers and decided to search the internet. Found this site like many others. I knew that the crackers might be stale as they were about a month past their expiration date, but figured since they were going into soup, they would be fine.

As soon as I opened the box and the first sleeve of crackers, that horrible chemical smell attached my nose. They immediately went into the trash. I pulled out the box and look at the UPC code to see if it matched the others noted here: yes it does, 8. The sleeves smelled, the crackers smelled, and the box smells. How disgusting and disappointing.

I never experienced anything like this before. These were purchased in Winchester, VA in 2011. +1 Votes Unfortunately I have to report that the brand name is not limited to Nabisco. After helping my older father paint primer on walls in his home, he and his sister made chili for lunch. While others in the painting group ate the chili with crackers I found the flavor to be horrible. I could not figure out what would taste so horrible. I chocked it up to the smell of ammonia from the paint primer that may have stuck in my throat since breathing them for about three of four hours..I agree with the writer who stated the smell was like leather cleaner, chemicals, and pesticide combined together.
