Use by date question

[Lurkergirl]

I was going through my pantry and noticed some of my Rice A Roni and Hamburger helper are past the use by date .
Can I still use them or do I need to toss them ?

That should help

Here is link from the Food & Science Division of the USDA for deciphering food dates (i.e. Sell-by dates, Manufactured, Date Codes, Use-by dates, and other info).

Food Product Dating (USDA's site/info on date codes, etc.)

Hope this will help you and others. The link is correct now--

I am studying Food Science/Nutrition so I thought I would pass this on to you and others.
