How long do dates keep?
I found a forgotten package of dates and it sell "sell by 6-2017" - is that a "use by" date also? They look okay but I don't get them very often.

I don't worry about dried fruit going bad. If they look good and smell good I would use them.

I have no idea how long they generally keep, but a 06-2017 would leave me giving it no extra thought for another year or two, for sure.

I'd definitely use. They last a long time.
