According to the FDA, all at-home COVID tests, including the free ones sent by the USPS, are only good to use through a certain dateFor those experiencing COVID symptoms or who have been exposed to the virus, at-home COVID test kits are an easy way to detect negative or positive COVID cases. However, all at-home COVID tests, including the free ones sent out from the federal government by the United States Postal Service, are only good to use through a certain date.
According to the Food Drug Administration, at-home COVID tests have both a specific shelf-life, and a specific expiration date. "The shelf-life is how long the test should perform as expected and is measured from the date the test was manufactured,"."The expiration date listed on the box label for at-home COVID-19 tests is set at the end of the shelf-life, and is the date through which the test is expected to perform as accurately as when manufactured.
Typically, the FDA authorizes an at-home COVID shelf-life of about four to six months from the time the test was made, the agency says.
