Colon Cancer Check Kits have a shelf life of 3 years. The last batch of FOBT kits were in 2008 and have an expiry of May 2011. Check the kits that you haven't given out yet and also make sure that if patients haven't completed their FOBT testing yet that they are given one of the new kits. It's a good idea to point out the expiry date to the patient when you are giving them the kit and explaining the process. To find more information and to learn how to check expiry dates go to: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/coloncancercheck/fobt_kit_expiry.aspx
