Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date

In dry stuff it’s generally the fat going rancid.

Though I’ve used 5 year old pasta and it was fine. The fat may have been rancid, but I suspect between boiling and immersion in sauce you just wouldn’t taste it.

(Also, rancid fat isn’t necessarily harmful).

Yeah most fish oil supplement capsules have gone rancid by the time they make it to the consumer iirc

    That’s not made from durum wheat and water, though, which most dry pasta is.
