Expired Whey Protein
by Jon
Is it ok to consume expired whey protein? Answer: It might depend on the expiration date. If it has only been 1 month, you should be fine. Just sample 1 scoop and see if you get an upset stomach. You probably won't. If it has been expired for 6 or more months, I wouldn't use it. I've had a friend who worked for Muscle Tech and would get Cell Tech Creatine for free because it expired. Sometimes there are just legal reasons why it can't be sold. My friend and I both used expired Cell Tech with no problems. It had been expired a couple months. The safe response would be to say not to use it, however if it has only been expired for a few months just test out a small sample. I've had another friend who bought cheap discounted whey protein that sent him to the bathroom for awhile. It was probably discounted because it was expired. There's no clear answer, especially if the product hasn't been expired very long. So again, it's safe to stir clear of expired supplements, but if it has only just expired, I wouldn't worry too much.

Does Optimum Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Go Bad?
The protein expired over one year ago, what will be its effects because it has expired if any?
Answer:
It's clear that many people consume expired supplements without any problems. If it has only been expired for a few weeks, or even a couple months, it should be OK. That being said, it's always best to avoid them if you can.
Supplements have expired times which are generally guidelines and estimates. But they do have expiry dates because the potency of a supplement does not last.
If your whey protein supplements have expired, they may not be as potent.

Is Expired Whey Protein Dangerous?
Is it dangerous to consume expired whey protein? I have an old container expired 5 years ago; first glass didn't kill me so...
Just wondering if there's a medical warning or something.
Answer:
If it has just expired, or it has only been a few weeks, it is probably OK.
The expiry dates are simply estimates, but if products were effective after the expiration date, there would be no point in recommending a date. A few weeks or months past should be fine, but 5 years is a long time.
Expiry dates are usually a guarantee of potency, so expired whey protein might not cause you any harm, but it won't be as potent.
Again, most expiry dates are estimated guidelines. Within a few weeks of the expiration date you should be fine, but after 5 years the potency might be way down.

it would be a shame to just throw it away i am aware that it wont be as effective but is it still safe to consume.
Thank you have a good one, stay strong and stay big
Answer:
Personally I wouldn't use it. I've used expired supplements in the past but anything over a few months I wouldn't use.
You might not get sick, however the purity of the protein may be questionable and that's one of the main reasons you're using it.
So I wouldn't use it, and I wouldn't suggest you do either, but I'm sure there are people out there who have used expired supplements with no problems.
