This is an excerpt from the link below. Visit that link for more info and the food safety charts!!
Safety After Date Expires
Except for "use-by" dates, product dates don't always refer to home storage and use after purchase. "Use-by" dates usually refer to best quality and are not safety dates. But even if the date expires during home storage, a product should be safe, wholesome and of good quality ― if handled properly and kept at 40° F or below. See the accompanying refrigerator charts for storage times of dated products. If product has a "use-by" date, follow that date. If product has a "sell-by" date or no date, cook or freeze the product by the times on the chart.

If it's dry, has no signs of insects or mold, it's fine. Grains can actually be stored for years and years if they aren't exposed to insects or damp.
mmmmmmm try it if you get sick u no not to eat after the expiration date> if you die hope your mom no u love her
If you mean dry rice, like Minute Rice, it's still good. A few months won't hurt it.
If it's a prepared rice side-dish, the kind you just have to heat up, it's <
Dec 2006..!!!
I won't eat that if I were you....
If we talk about a month or a few weeks I think it would be ok...but several months....I don't think so...!
With some dry goods such as rice, pancake mix, instant potatoes, etc. they can develope and invisible bacteria that can be very harmful. To be on the safe side, trash it.
Hell yes!
I would eat it without hesitation. I presume you mean dry rice, not boil-in-bag or something else funny. But with dry rice, even if you ate it in two years time, the worst that would happen is it could have a funny texture. I really don't even think it's possible to get food poisoning from old rice, unless it got wet or got contaminated by pests (and in both cases you'd be able to see there was something wrong with it)
