I've just found some instant oats in the back of the cupboard, with a best before date of March 19 & May 18. Still OK to use? After all, they're only dried oats (albeit one with golden syrup & one with apple & blueberry). Or should I avoid & buy new? |

I'd try them. Waste not, want not. Some people are bizarrely fanatical about dates on food packaging.

I’d eat them. You’re going to pour boiling water on them. |

So long as the innermost packaging hasn't been damaged, I see no reason why they wouldn't be fine to eat (may not taste their best any more but that's all).

If they're not wriggling, and smell OK, I'd eat them.
