I'm usually so careful with sell by dates and so last year when it was lockdown, I put the flour I bought in a Tupperware tub.
I checked yesterday that it was free from weevils and there weren't any.
My kids made the pancake mix and I cooked them but they weren't as nice as normal and I had a horrible after taste.
When I went back to check the ingredients I noticed that the flour had a 'play dough' smell which I looked up and it turns out that it was off. I didn't even realise it went off, I thought that when it was the sell by date it would have bugs in it.
Just read that it was probably off and could have Mycotoxins in it.
I have health anxiety anyway and emetophobia so I'm worried I'll be really ill. I will confess to being rubbish in the kitchen so I know nothing about food etc.
