## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is sell by date**
A: Hi! If you are purchasing this from Amazon as the seller, I can confirm that Amazon will only accept product into their warehouse from us (Uncle Bens) with at least a 50% shelf life. We understand that they are not holding a large amount of stock right now, so anticipate that it should be at least 50% for this reason. The total shelf life on this product is 12 months, so you should have at least 6 months to use it. Amazon are the only ones though that can 100% confirm what the date is on the stock in their warehouse I'm afraid. 

If you purchase this from any seller other than Amazon (so a 3rd party or Marketplace seller) this date may be considerably shorter, so please take care to select the seller you wish to use. Hopefully any other sellers will also reply to you to confirm what the date is on their stock. 

I hope that this is of help to you!
