Hello Emma,
Shirartaki Noodles are Japanese foodstuff. Is the label in Japanese or Chinese?
However the importer maybe Chinese.
Can you see any of these letters on the packet: わ or に or の ?
If yes, then it's written in Japanese.
If not, then it's written in Chinese, and I can't read help much more.
Can you take a photo of the packet label? If you can, I'll read it for you.
Emma, I've heard they last refrigerated for up to 3 months. I've proven this theory (unintentionally--I forgot they were lost in the back of my fridge) and I'm still alive.
Nothing on there talks about the best before date.
Often the best before date is written on the plastic seam of the packaging in Japan.
Check where the seams where the bag has been sealed.
The date format in Japan is year/month/day
So today, 18th August 2007
Is written. 平成19年8月18日
The year 2007 is the 19th year of the current Emperor rein in Japan, so the year number is written as the number 19. 20 will be 2008, and so on.
Unless the current Emperor dies, then the number is go back to 1 again.
It may also be written in the normal way: 2007年8月18日

Muffin butt queen, I mean, Emma -- I'm pretty sure they have a shelf life of at least a month or two, if I remember correctly from my last package. I would tell you to open them and just smell them, but since they smell like dead fish even when they ARE fresh, that won't help....
Well...I get mine sent from the UK by courier... and never know how long they've been sitting in a lorry in the sun...but I get about five packs at a time and they last me ages (in the fridge), like at least 3 months... so I don't think they're that fragile. Well, I'm still alive!
Hayden... I'm impressed too!

I can't smell very well, so I didn't smell fish at all. Sometimes a broken nose is a beautiful thing!

lolol
adena i'm wanting to cuss you out right now! leave my arse alone!! lmao
and yeah, they smell like dead fish, but you boil the heck outta them and theyre GOOD!
but ummm.... i didnt know i had to keep them in the fridge? ive had mine in the cupboard a month or so, had some yesterday and they were good... but maybe its different with the climate here... only two packs left so they are now in the fridge and i will endeavour to eat them in the next few weeks!
I have several packs right now and the regular white ones don't say they need to be refridgerated. The ones with tofu do though.
