Does it get too dry? Go stale?

Is there something that makes dried pasta unable to rehydrate?

Shelf-stable food is almost permanently good to eat. The dates mean very little to nothing.

  • Dried food can go bad if it gets wet, regardless of the date.

  • Canned food can go bad if the can is pierced, regardless of the date.

  • Crackers/chips will slowly go stale, date here is more of a freshness thing than a safety thing.

    Ask me about the food poisoning my whole family got from a store bought shelf stable pie crust!! We made the pie within a couple weeks of buying the crust, but determine after the fact that it expired a year prior! 🤮
