Ramen noodles have a very long shelf life, but they do expire after 10 years. Noodle packages are stamped with a best-by date and should be discarded after this date has passed.

Ramen noodles should be stored in a location that is cool and dry. Proper storage conditions extend the shelf life of this product.

Ramen noodles are a dehydrated food which is available in a variety of flavors. Low sodium selections are also offered. This food only requires the addition of water and a microwave oven to prepare.

An estimated 3.6 billion packages of Ramen noodles are sold worldwide each year.
