Hi!
First, My english is poor, I'm sorry about that...

And Why Katadyn Official Website say:

"each Micropur tablet is individually wrapped and has a shelf life in (excess of 5 years)."

http://www.katadyn.com/usen/service/news/detail/article/2009/08/27/us-military-choose-katadyn-micropur-mp1-purification-tablets/

Backcountry.com Say:

"Tablets are individually sealed for longest shelf life (3 years)."

I think Katadyn is estimating the longest possible shelf life while still retaining efficasy & bc.com is taking the safest approach. Where chlorine dioxide is concerned, I'd say three years is more than enough shelf life.
