I ordered this variety pack on Sun, 8/4, and received it Tues, 8/6, so shipping was very fast. The "best by" (BB) date on the outer box is 2/28/25, which is not quite 7 months out.
As I was hoping for 9, 10, or more months of product viability, I chatted with Gerber's help line today to ask about the shelf life of newly manufactured product and I learned that this particular batch of product was manufactured on 2/21/24. That means the BB date was set for 1 year + 1 week into the future.
Initially I thought that meant that the product I received sat in a warehouse somewhere for 5 months before it shipped to me, but now I know that's not the whole story.
When I opened the box, I found that the BB dates vary by flavor. The shortest life, with a BB of 2/28/25 is on the Chicken Noodle. That's the date on the outer box.
The other 4 flavors have BB dates
of 3/31/25, 4/30/25, another 4/30/25, and 5/31/25 so their shelf life in my cupboard will range from 7-10 months.
These are great dinners for our little one & I'm happy that most of the items in the box had longer shelf lives than the outer box said.
