Hey, this was actually pretty good for food from my parents' house. For Christmas 2018, I cleaned out and organized their medicine cabinets. I threw out everything that had an expiration date earlier than 2000. :-) (With one exception -- an over-the-counter medication purchased in the 60s that later became a controlled substance, so you couldn't get it anymore. It's vile stuff, so I can't imagine anyone WANTING to get it, but it does work very well.)
