Rummaging in the back of the cupboard here, and found an ancient packet of fusilli.

Will it be edible?

It'll be fine. Today's popcorn was made with kernels that had a best before date of July 2012. It's best before not use by 😊

I would probably use it, personally, as long as it looked and smelt ok and didn’t have anything growing on it 😬

I think I’ll do a test with 2 or 3 of them before I risk my meatballs and precious pasta sauce on them Smile

Of course!

Dried pasta probably lasts for years beyond its best before date. It will be fine.
