I found an old package of aquamira tablets stored? Probably at least 5 years old. Can't find any info on shelf life via google. Any thoughts?

What I think is that you have found an old package of aquamira tablets, and that you were unable to find any info regarding their shelf life. Any thoughts?

I think Ivo's response was pointless and childish (jeesh!) I also think I personally wouldn't risk using tablets that old. I only use the tablets as an emergency backup to other filtering means. So mine tend to get old before they get used. I've heard urban legend that the tablets have a 3-year shelf life. Since they're not labeled, I always write an expiration date on the foil holders with a Sharpie whenever I buy a new package. They're PROBABLY good for much longer than three years; but they don't cost so much that I'm willing to risk a gastro-intestinal ailment.

The expiration date is stamped on the packaging. It is very hard to see and read. I also if I remember correctly the date is done in the European arrangement.
