I recently received a 12-pack of Isopure Smoothies that I ordered online. After drinking 1 of them, I was looking at the bottle and I noticed that it said "Best by January 5 2012."
Are these safe to drink? It's not an expiration date - it merely says "best by . . ."
The ingredients are filtered water, whey (milk) protein isolate,peach puree concentrate, orange juice concentrate,phosphoric acid, non-dairy creamer (sunflower oil, maltodextrin, sodium caseinate, mono- and diglycerides, dipotassium phosphate, soy lecithin), milled flaxseed, pectin, natural & artificial flavors, malic acid, cellulose gel, sucrose, cellulose gum, fish oil, sucralose
Since I bought the stuff off of Amazon, I received a request to rate the seller, so I explained how I wouldn't have purchased these drinks if I had known that they were older. I was immediately contacted by the seller, who said that he wished I had told him about my problem with his product before writing my review, because now he had to take his ad down (or something like that). There was no apology or offer for me to return the product. Plus, I have already destroyed the box, and I would have to pay shipping (which was expensive due to the weight of the 12 bottles).
What do you think?
Is there an ingredient in the mix that might be spoiled a month after the "best by" date?
All opinions are welcome!
