So I just ordered a pound of Cure #1 from Amazon and delivered today (in less than 24 hours). It has a best by date on it of 2024. I pulled out the old package of cure that I have had at least 4 years and the best by on that one is Nov 2023..... Makes me wonder if they "adjusted" their best by dates to be a little sooner.
I generally follow best by dates, but the more I read about them, the products seem to be good for months or years beyond the stated date. I know it is a CYA for the company but does salt and nitrite really go bad?? I have had canned food many months past the best by date and I am still around.... (and sadly, still a little too round).
