Vaccum packed? Or where they just exposed to air? Spices theoretically last forever since most spices absorb moisture making rot impossible to take root. Just got to keep it away from ambient moisture and sunlight (UV degradation)
As a secondary thought for this experiment of yours have you thought of creating a hothouse (heated greenhouse) for your survival strategy?
Is none an option? I feel like none should be an option. (An option that says "all of these are equally terrible and should be disposed of, not eaten.") One month past expiration date I would still risk it. Three years? No. I've lived through four food poisonings already. I want to live. I want to be healthy. I don't want to suffer in pain and agony as my insides are being ripped open and I'm force vomiting with a fever, shaking with cold. Not worth it.
Yes and no. 3 years is a long ass time for normal packaged foods. 3 years for a can that has additional preservatives is trickier to pin down when it becomes inedible as there has been cases where canned foods has been good 20 years after it expired. Canned food as long as it isnt damaged can last for decades.
Food that had expired prior to its experation date has to of been damaged beforehand. Voiding posted experation date. Otherwise you could of made a decent case in court about the experation if it caused significant damage to your person.
If you personally dont want to risk it it's fine. But some of us have a lower standard for what we are willing to eat.
