Veteran  378   The Cold North |  Subject: Expired PowergelsI bought a few boxes of gels in May. I've been using them, and just noticed today that I have a half box left of ones that expired in May. I haven't noticed that they taste any different. Would you use them still, or should I pitch them? |

Pro 4339 Husker Nation | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels It's like sweetened condensed milk - the stuff is practically bacteria proof due to the high ratio of sugar to solids. I'd eat it. Then again, it's not too expensive so maybe I wouldn't... |

Pro 3932 Irvine, California | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels I found some old Gu packets in a drawer from about 1.5 years ago, and decided to try them. Ewww, not good. Didn't make me sick or anything, but tasted foul. |

Veteran 378 The Cold North | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels serenityau - 2009-07-02 7:28 PM do they say 'expiry date' or 'best by' The say "best by". I guess since I've been using them and they still taste good, I'll just hurry and finish them up. Thanks! |

Master 2202 Canton, Michigan | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels You mean they can go bad I Ate a Cliff bar while on a ride today that was dated July 4, 2008 when someone riding with me mentioned he hoped it didn't have peanuts I laughed and figured it was manufactured well before the peanut scare from last year. |

Master 1993 Riverside, IL | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels I just ate an old vanilla Powerbar Gel that was bought sometime last year...other than it being all "globbed" together and not the normal smooth consistency, it tasted fine and I had no ill effects. |

| Expert 1233 | Subject: RE: Expired Powergels LOL, I bought about four cases of powergel years ago, when they were clearanced! Then forgot I had them. Did a search on expiration, posted the question, and ended up trying one. Tasted fine, so I ended up using them all. |

| Subject: RE: Expired Powergels I got a free bucket of Power Bar Endurance powder because it had just gone beyond the expire date and they were going to throw it away. Not a problem  |
