Has the Expiration Date of Your Home COVID Tests Been Extended? Here’s How to Tell

Updated: Aug 8


COVID is still here and I recommend home testing for COVID any time you get sick. I recommend this because what can seem like seasonal allergies or the common cold could be COVID. But, are your home COVID tests still good?


Making sure your tests haven't expired before using them is important because expired COVID tests could give false/incorrect results if used. It's also important because COVID tests can be expensive and you don't want to pay for tests you don't need.





To ensure your test hasn't expired you'll need to do a little more than merely checking the expiration date on the package. This is because (luckily) many COVID test expiration dates have been extended and if you simply go by the expiration date on the package, you might prematurely throw out a perfectly good COVID test and think it has expired when, in fact, it has not.


So, where do you find out if your COVID tests have expired? It's simple. Go to the FDA website via this link which will allow you to search for your tests (just scroll down just a hair to find the section where you can search for your test): https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic-tests?mibextid=2JQ9oc#list.





Hopefully this step will save you time and money and allow you to use COVID tests you might have thought were no good.


Also, during this time of increased COVID cases, please make sure you're wearing high quality masks (N95's, KN95's and KF94's are the best) and search this site to make sure you're getting quality masks.




Make sure you take proper hygiene precautions to prevent illness and follow the CDC isolation guidelines if you get COVID and use proper hygiene precautions.


As I always say, we'll get through this together.


Love y'all!
