Had to go and check the date on mine...Dec 2017. By the amount used, I reckon it's got another few years to go yet. Mine is in a squirty ketchup type bottle. Remember having trouble finding it at the time, as I was looking for a tin.0 -
Mr S came home from work one day last year and said the cafe had dumped loads of stuff in a skip which all looked good, herbs and spices and golden syrup, so I told him to fish it out and bring it home, Ive now 4 tins of golden syrup in the garage
