It gets tedious throwing things away "just in case." I am in the US and would buy this. In fact, am off to see whether I can get it here.

I tested insulin and glucose test strips years after their exp. dates - no problems in most cases, but I am NOT responsible if you win a Darwin Award by not using common sense. If you need to know when you opened or purchased something, try a permanent marker. I write the date purchased on every but of food I buy "P 06-13-2006" might go on a bag of chips. If I care when I open it (I don't - a Food Saver sealer it tighter than the factory's packaging.) Andy Out!

If your milk sat out on a loading dock all afternoon, it would show a shorter shelf life. It's of dubious value to the grocery/food producer, so who knows if it will ever see widespread use.

A diabetic's insulin, as well as other injectible drugs, typically has a 21-day "shelf life" after it has been opened. This product stuck to the side of your insulin bottle can be real handy and quite a time saver. Just about everybody who's diabetic has had one of those days where you don't "feel right" and your blood sugars seem off. "Oh, damn.. how old is this insulin, anyway?"
