Your CoVid Home Test Kit May Have Expired….Or Not
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/-pfL3WYF3cI
When home antigen tests for CoVid were first FDA approved, many of them had expiration dates in 4 to 6 months. As additional shelf life data has been accumulated, the FDA has extended those expirations dates in some cases to one year or as long as 18 months.
Problem is: the expiration date extension situation is different for each test kit brand and lot number. How do you find out if the test kits you have been squirreling away for months are still valid and accurate? Armed with your test kit brand and lot numbers, check the FDA site using this Bitly link: bit.ly/3PY7L6L. The site lists each brand and links to a sublist for info on specific lot numbers.
