do they go off? just picked up a gel and it's 2 years out of date.
Why not try it and let us know !😁
My money would be on needing a pair of trainers close by for a quick sprint...based on absolutely no knowledge in particular ..
Never had a problem with old gels. They're sterile and sealed so should be good for years.
I find energy gels give me the squits even if they're in date. What's the worst that could happen?
hmmm that's probably £50 off stuff I need to bin then 🙁 stopped needing to use them when I stopped racing due to kids.
As Akers says, they are sterile, sealed and contain essentially sugar and water. I was told by the owner of a well know energy products company that they've tested batches that are years out of date and they were fine.
2 years out of date? Erm.... it won't kill You, just try it? I've been using some gels that are "Use By Sept 2017" (due to me forgetting I had them in the cupboard!), I expected a funny tummy, but no. They even taste "normal".
Been using out of date gels for a while with no issues. I buy them near end of date as they are cheaper.
Mine are all out of date ( I bought a lot when Canyon were selling them cheap). No negative effects yet.
You’ll be fine.
I have tubs of drink powder which is all out of date. Mrs aracer suggested I should get rid of it on that basis 🙄 - it's dried powder, what exactly is likely to happen to it?

Keep them for your VETS come back race.
You’ll be fine. I used one that was three and a bit years out of date the other week and I lived!
I just finished a tube of GO Hydro tablets. Best before 30/06/15.
