I have a dental chin with issues at the moment. I'm hand feeding and just realized the Critical Care I have has expired. I can easily get more but man this is a lot of Critical care I may need to throw out. I was just wondering what the problem would be with the expired stuff. It has always been refrigerated and sealed. It is about 6 months out of date.
 
I believe that it's the probiotics that loose their effectiveness when it expires. I have expired CC here too - I just supplement with additional probiotics to make up for what is no longer active in the CC. Never had a problem yet.
 
Refridgerated and sealed should help the CC be OK even after the 6 months, but I agree with GreyChins on it effectiveness once it is opened and the air has hit it. A little Bene Bac added to it should help add to it.
 
The expired CC is actually ok to use for any exotic other than GPigs. It is the vitamin C that stops working after the expiration date :D
