That's true of just about any flour. If you stock up when it's on sale and don't plan on using it right away, store it in your freezer. The cold will kill anything that's in there that hasn't hatched yet. (I know, ewww... but flour is an agricultural product and bugs are a fact of life.)Paige Dixon said:

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to help answer your question about the shelf life of Beer Bread mix. Generally, our mixes have a shelf life of about 1 year from the date of production. However, since your friend's mix does not have an expiration date, I recommend checking the ingredients list for any perishable items such as yeast or dairy. If those are not listed, the mix should still be safe to use. I hope this helps! Happy baking!
