"Activated charcoal is a potent natural treatment used to trap toxins and chemicals in the body, allowing them to be flushed out so the body doesn’t reabsorb them. It’s made from a variety of sources, but when used for natural healing, it’s important to select activated charcoal made from coconut shells or other natural sources." - Dr Axe (https://draxe.com/activated-charcoal-uses/)
Activated Charcoal works by trapping chemicals and toxins in its porous surface which contain millions of tiny pores. (However, it isn't used for the ingestion of petroleum, alcohol, lye, acids or other corrosive agents)
Rather than absorbing the toxins it works through the process of adsorption. This is a process where the elements bind to the surface of the charcoal pores, rather than being soaked up and assimilated. By binding to the charcoal, the substances are neutralised and able to pass through the digestive tract and out of the body.
Incredibly, the pores of activated charcoal powder have a negative electric charge. This cause the positively charged toxins and gas to bond with it.
Please note: It is important to note that the charcoal you use on your barbecue, and the charcoal you get when you've burnt your toast does NOT have the same healing properties as activated charcoal. In fact some forms of charcoal can be loaded with toxins and chemicals, and should never be consumed.

The simple, yet powerful properties of activated charcoal has many uses. We've compiled a list of the top few:
Charcoal is termed 'activated' when it is processed in such a way as to maximise the pores which increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. This occurs when the carbon (e.g. coconut shell, bamboo etc.) is heated in a furnace at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Steam activation is a common way of activating food-grade charcoal. In this process all volatile compounds are removed and at the same time many layers of carbon atoms are pealed off, which expands the internal pores, leaving behind a carbon skeleton. Typically 3 kg of raw charcoal will produce 1 kg of activated charcoal. In other words, "Less is More", as the internal porous space expands.
This activation process greatly enhances the adsorption qualities of the charcoal.
After activation the charcoal is cooled and washed to remove any ash content.
Because of the very high temperatures required for steam activation (600 - 1,200 °C), these results are difficult to achieve outside of industrial technology.
The short answer is 'No'.
Providing that the charcoal powder is not exposed to moisture or to the environment in any way where it will adsorb toxins and pollutions, it does not have an expiration date.
According to Dr. Agatha Thrash and Dr. Calvin Thrash in their book 'Rx Charcoal',
"Charcoal powder has an indefinate shelf life, remaining effective for years, probably decades."
*We advise checking with your government body as some countries have regulations for expiry dates.

They sound very similar don’t they? In fact, I wouldn’t blame you for not even noticing that there was a difference! But, these two words are very different and “adsorption” is the principle that charcoal uses. In this article, we will discuss the differences between these two words.
I like this definition I found:
In other words, absorption is what happens when you place a dry sponge in water. The water enters the fibers of the sponge.
Adsorption on the other hand is what happens when you place your hand in the water and take it back out, to discover that your hand is wet. The water sticks to the outside of your hand.
Each tiny particle of charcoal is millions of microscopic spaces that give it a massive surface area. One gram of charcoal has the surface area of 500 square metres.2 That’s about half a standard house block! With that large amount of surface area, you can see why charcoal is such a good adsorber.
