Is My Xanthan Gum Expired?

I bought my first package of Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum last week, and I had just opened it to make cookies when I saw the sell by date - 3/26/2010. I had already put it into my batter (the cookies came out delicious, by the way), but I did notice that the xanthan gum had a strong smell to it (I don't know what it's supposed to smell like normally, though).

Is it expired? Or is the sell by date okay? I hope it's not something I could get sick from. How long is xanthan gum good for? Despite it being opened should I go to the store and ask for my money back on grounds that they shouldn't be selling expired products?

I never use Bob's Red Mill but Many of us use it after the date... Always check the date before buying... But if it was stored in a dry, cool spot it will be fine....I use NOW brand & I don't think it smells so maybe someone who uses BRM will comment about the smell.....

I know people on another site tha tuses it indefinitly with no problems....

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
