Expired Food: Pasta
2 years past expiration date
Pasta falls under the dry product category, which is why it doesn’t spoil quickly. The same stands for whole-grain pasta, as the dryness offsets rancidity. That is why you can safely cook it past its due date. The quality may just suffer a bit.
The same goes for uncooked rice, as well as raw oats and oatmeal. But now, if we’re talking about FRESH uncooked pasta, that is a different story.
If it has been kept refrigerated and in an unopened package, it can still be good to consume for a full 7-10 days after the use-by date on the packet.

This was a great article. Learned a lot about keeping food. Mostly common sense but, still good to know for sure.
Wow! This article was EXCELLENT! I intend to type summary and send to others that I know would feel the same way. Thank you.
