Primo Pasta Now Has An Expiry!!!!

[KK7]

Was cooking up some pasta tonight for a casserole and noticed something different it actually has an expiry. Looked at a couple other pasta bags of Primo and nothing so must be new. And to all of you who make fun of us stock pilling people it is good till 2013

LOL! I thought recently(within the last few years) everything that we eat/drink HAD to have an expiry date? Could be wrong, heard it a while ago?lol same thing with the nutritional facts.

I think it's because there's a Healht Canada limit to how much trans-fats and stuff that can be added to foods, which have typically acted as a form of preservatives (or gelled fats). I could be wrong, but I thought I heard something about this a little while back

Maybe business is slow and they need people to toss what they have and buy more!

I read an article in our paper a week or two ago that said pasta has a shelf life of 3 years.

It actually has even less of a shelf life if it's whole wheat pasta. I found that out the hard way, yuck.

That's a very good thing.

That's a very good thing.

Agreed.

Even white rice has a shelf life. Found out the hard way too. Ew!

Also, even if stuff seems good, we need to be careful because foods lose certain vitamins after a while, especially when exposed to light and air.

I do try to keep things rotating. Personally, I'd rather consume anything within a year. I like fresh stuff.
