For context, it’s banana nut flavored that’s been expired for two years.

If it doesn’t have bugs, it’s still edible.
Otherwise, bird food or oatmeal baths.

[Amanda]

Sprinkle over fat from cooking and then put out for birds.

[Sarah]

Use it. I’ve used mine up through 18months after expired date. Otherwise, they are great face mask.

The dates are merely for inventory control. It helps the consumer know which tins/boxes/packets are older so we remember to use those first.

There’s a chart on line from a food bank that shows how long things are good for after the dates.

It’s generally about 2 years.

Unless it’s expired by years and years, I’d still use it. Maybe not as oatmeal but in a recipe for sure.

Best before dates don’t mean much on most dry goods, provided they’ve been stored properly.
