Do I REALLY need to follow the expiration use by date on mountain houses? I have some that are only a year past expiration and I'd hate to throw them out for no reason.
What does everyone else do?

Actually I believe the date I'm seeing is the manufacture date.... Phew.
But while we are on the subject, do mountain houses ever go bad?

I've eaten some pretty old MH with no ill effects. I believe MH says 12 years for the regular bags. The steel canned stuff is even longer.

12 years for the bags, 25 years for the cans I believe. I got an email from them a couple months back stating they are doing testing to determine how much longer the bags can last. They have eaten stuff 18 years old with no problems.
