out of date oats
So I was a little over zealous the last time I ordered my Scottish oats and they go out of date this month. The only problem is that I have about 5kg left! Usually I don't worry much about 'best before' and all that but will there be any adverse effects if I'm still going through the bag in a few months time?
Thanks oh and apologies if this has come up before but I couldnt find it

If they're in an airtight container I reckon they should be ok. Best before dates are usually very conservative.
Just look out for mould, if you find any pick that bit out

I agree with all the above. Keep them in a cool, dark, dry place and they'll be fine. The protein and carb element will not be affected it will be the fat content that will have a tendency to rancidify (oxidise). But this is a gradual process that started from the moment the ears were taken from the plant. There is no "magic moment" when it goes horribly toxic. I wouldn't recommend it but your body can probably digest a few milligrams of oxidised fats. A knob of rancid butter won't kill you - it just doesn't taste that nice.

I cant really see what bad things could really happen to oats for going over the sell by date tbh? Aside from keeping grubs out of them

cheers
Thanks guys,
Glad you're also not as obsessed by these sell by dates as some people I know, after all who actually decides them? I've been a bit slack with sealing them to be honest-they're in a bag with a tag on it, which I think is fairly air tight. I'll just get munching and see what happens!
