Ask me about the food poisoning my whole family got from a store bought shelf stable pie crust!! We made the pie within a couple weeks of buying the crust, but determine after the fact that it expired a year prior! 🤮
Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date

Shelf-stable food is almost permanently good to eat. The dates mean nothing.
Dried food can go bad if it gets wet, regardless of the date.
Canned food can go bad if the packaging is pierced, regardless of the date.

I’ve had crackers where the fat has gone rancid. Not great, but edible, especially with something to mask it - dip, peanut butter, cheese, etc

was it out of an MRE or just a back of the cupboard find?

Despite the memes, apparently, Twinkies go stale pretty soon after they’re made.

that is a decidedly NOT fun fact :(
