Ogre Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Some nice American chaps on e-bay are giving me the opportunity to purchase 'TANG' drink powder for our preps. Can anyone tell me the shelf life I can expect from this before I blow twenty quid ? Ogre Quote Link to post
Canned Nerd Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I always thought Tang had the same lifespan as Twinkies, at least 100 years, but realistically it should last for a few years if you keep it in a vacuum-sealed container so it is not exposed to moisture and the air. I don't know if the original Tang containers are sufficient for long-term storage. Quote Link to post
Fritz_Monroe Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've never seen an official shelf life, but I've seen it mentioned a couple times that it is 24 months. Storage Live of Groceries Quote Link to post
Fullpantry Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Never really lasts long enough around here to conduct a true test, but I should think it would keep for several years as long as its kept dry. If you want to keep it for a LOOOOONG time (like 10 years) I would put it in a mason jar and vaccum seal it. That would insure that no moisture got in and it will stay "fresh" Quote Link to post
Gibbs Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I do know that a number of my LDS friends store it as a sorce of vitamins and break up the mundane water. I've heard as long as 3 yrs in air tight. Quote Link to post
