1. Yes. Expiration does not mean it has gone bad, and deterioration does not mean it is toxic or harmful.

2. After the shelf life, it means that the manufacturer can no longer guarantee the quality of the product, but it does not mean that the product has become unsafe. Some spices on the market have no shelf life. Because according to national regulations, beverage wine, vinegar, edible salt, etc. with an alcohol content of 10% or more are exempt from labeling the shelf life. For condiments, the so-called shelf life is only the best time to eat it, and it is not a prohibited time like other foods. If it is seed powder, white pepper powder, meat seasoning, curry powder, Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, etc., the so-called expiration of these seasonings is just the time when the taste becomes lighter. Whether to eat them must be based on whether they have really gone bad. Pay attention to storing spices in a relatively dry environment to prevent them from becoming damp and moldy. If spices are found to have gone bad, regardless of whether they are within the shelf life, they must be disposed of in time and must not be eaten again.
