Most foods and many meds have usable dates far beyond the expire dates printed on them if reasonably stored. The large McCormick spice company frequently runs ads in mags recommending older spices be discarded (I percieve a profit motive). The US Army tested antibiotic tablets etc 3-5 years old and they tested fine.
