yawn.3x Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I just checked my protein powder today and apparently it expired sept 2011. I'm wondering if it's still okay to take. I did a bit of research and apparently it just loses its potency but will never actually. "go bad". Would it e safe to take for today until I can buy a new one tomorrow?

Hamhuis Hipcheck Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Should be fine. It's not like it's raw stuff. Plus, if you get sick, just go to the doctors. It's not gonna kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Its fine. I've never taken any expired protein, but it doesn't "go bad" like you said. My trainer told me and he's studied proteins and nutrition for 4+ years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've had a lot of experience with supplements etc. Generally expiration dates are just something required by law and the CFIA - Canadian Food and Inspection Agency. Shelf life for a tub of protein is typically a few years but generally in Canada, they are given an expiration date of only 2 years. Ironically in Europe they have a 3 year expiration dates printed on products. You'll be fine but if you get a fowl stench or mold or something like that, I would be a little worried.

Owen Nolan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Depends on how and where it was stored.. The protein itself may be a little bit broken down but you'll be fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer4now Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I just finished expired protein powder alittle awhile ago and didnt feel any sickness, the only thing I noticed was the color of the powder was lighter and the taste was alittle funky but It still worked. Make sure it doesnt smell bad and that its been stored some where dark atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
