Answers:
All things decay and so we preserve them to make them last a bit longer!. We freeze and refrigerate and can food !.!.!.but it still decays, just more slowly!. Pasta is dried wheat and keeps very well indeed until it is opened, when air will start to oxidise it and make it go bad - eventually!. If it is a sealed packet it should be fine!. Best thing is to cook a few pieces as per instructions, then taste it!. It will taste mouldy if it's gone bad!. However, it's about a dollar/pound per kilo packet so why not just get some more!? If in doubt, throw it out, as we say in the catering trade!Www@FoodAQ@Com
If it is unopened it will last for years!. When opened it could be contaminated by dust or mites - (bugs)As it is so cheap to buy, If in doubt throw it out is probably the best answer that I would give you,as the quality of the cooked product could be degraded!. All the best RabWww@FoodAQ@Com
Well it will eventually go bad, because even if it looks fine in the package after a very long time, it could not taste as good when it is cooked if it is old, because it is not as fresh!.!.!. everything spoils eventually!Www@FoodAQ@Com
