expired protein

[italionstallionl]

what do supplement companies, such as d.a. or gnc do with expired protein, or any other expired product?

if it is like 1 month old it cant really be "bad" cant it?

I have seen the GNC by my house throw it all away. From what I understand, it is actually still good for like 3 months after the exp date. That is what I was told. They don't throw it away until then. They also said once the exp date comes up, they put it on their sale shelf for 3 months, then toss it.

would that have the same effect on you as drinking spoiled milk to be honest by my own stupidity i never look at the exp dates will know tho

I think you'd be fine, you just wouldnt be injesting as much protein as the serving's indicate. I could be totally wrong

[max von]

I would taste a small amount. I have had expired protein that tasted NASTY, and some that tasted normal. I think the quality has a lot to do with it.

thanks Myochem so far i guess i have been lucky with this.

I guess, I wish I would have been lucky.. I couldn't get the taste of the last NASTY one out of my mouth for the rest of the day...

Again, if looking for rationale for spoiled milk or protein powder, the only way for this to occur is if the container remains NOT air-tight. This allows for microbes to enter the canister or gallon, etc....


Your protein (or milk) will not spontaneously combust.

is selling expired protein legal?

[max von]

i would hope that there is something that oversee that part of supp and would be illegal

I have 3 containers of unopened nitro tech nighttime, expiring on 6/24/06. If it's still sealed, would it be possibly safe to use? I keep forgetting to toss it, but that has been my plan. Would the stuff stink or have obvious signs if it is bad, or is a destroyed stomach the only way to really tell?

I know I will get a bashing for this one but I actually used a bottle of protein that was a year out of date and it was fine. It had never been opened though. Use your own judgment. If I did use it, I would try just a little to make sure it is going to be ok
