Bought sometime in dec/Jan, best before 5th Feb 20, they are the unrefrigerated kind in plastic pack
Cracked packet open, very slight tangy smell but not sure if that's just normal potato scent as never sniffed them before!
Have shelved them in fridge while I think about it. I would not give a stuff about any other type of dry pasta but they are not "dry" in the same way so not sure.
