flavors and expiry dates

[Elvensilvan]

i ordered flavors from different online shops, and one of the packages just arrives yesterday.

thing is, one of the flavors inside was already expired (january 2016) and another one soon (april 2016).

can i still use these, or should i complain to the seller and have the items replaced?

Just my opinion, but I would definitely make mention of it to the vendor. You paid for a product you could use, not one that's expired.
I also wouldn't let them tell you the flavor is still "fine" either. If there is an expiration date, someone put it there for a reason.
I have a super low tolerance for vendors who practice like this, but first make them aware so they can (potentially) resolve your issue. It may have been a legit oversight. On the other hand, some vendors are just bad like that.

Although these products are not that far out of date and likely still usable I would bring it to the vendors attention and demand a refund or replacement. As mentioned above expiration dates are there for a purpose. Would you drink milk or take medication well past it's expiration date. If you pay top dollar you should get a top product. It would be a different thing entirely If it was bought on sale and the vendor made it known it was old stock but this seems not to be the case.

I'd call the vendor on it. Once you get the flavors you should be able to trust they won't expire for several years. Sending out expired, or soon to expire product is wrong & bad business.

So what changes as a liquid gets older?........ I use my juice so quickly I've never really thought about expiry dates

Not so much changes with synthetic flavorings. You may loose some potency but that's about it. With natural flavoring that's a different story. You could get some spoilage which can be a health risk.

You may need to change your vender then.
