Have Your At-Home Tests Really Expired?

Don’t toss out your home Covid tests until you read this. When a product first comes out, the FDA requires a conservative expiration date. As time goes on, though, and data shows that the product is effective longer, the company is allowed to extend the date. That is happening. To determine if your kits are good longer, go to https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/when-do-at-home-covid-19-tests-expire/65-ae768a50-b341-40ed-9923-d6bfcfbffc79, choose  the product (in my case iHealth), and put in the lot number listed on test’s box. It will tell you how long the date has been extended (in my case, 3 months). In any event, do NOT use tests that have expired, but DO check to see if your tests are still good.
