Best Answer

In short yes they do expire.

The timing varies depending on the manufacturer. If the pack appears yellow in color most likely it will not work to its original standards. It may not get as cold or may not stay cold for as long. The further from white the color is the less it is going to work properly.

Technically no they don't. However the chemicals can break down and the packaging can deteriorate. I would replace them every couple of years.

Will ice packs kept in the freezer ever expire?

Ice packs are packages that could absorb a considerable amount of heat when used to keep food from spoiling outside a refrigerator and for emergencies. Although ice packs technically do not expire, the chemicals inside would break down and the package would deteriorate, which would reduce its effectiveness in freezing. It is best to replace them every couple of years.
