Can you use plain flour when its 3 months out of date?

No, you should not use plain flour three months past its expiry date. Plain flour is a versatile ingredient commonly used in baking when stored in a cool dry place. However, like most flour products, plain flour has a limited shelf life and can deteriorate over time.

Expired plain flour can harbor harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and molds, which can lead to foodborne illness. In addition, the gluten content in plain flour can degrade over time, affecting its baking performance and resulting in poor-quality baked goods.

To ensure your safety and food quality always use plain flour within its recommended expiration date.
