Aquariums: I was given these fish foods for free but they have expired since 2022. Is it OK if I still feed them to my fish?

I wouldnt. Its not like you will have wasted money if you bin them.

Chuck em, even if they were still okay to consume they would have lost basically all of their beneficial nutrients, and you’re just feeding fancy looking dust to your fish.

Throw it out away please.

They can get fungus, specially if the previous owner was not careful with them, left them open, or worse, pinched some with wet fingers (yes, I’ve seen that).
It’s not worth it for whatever money you could be saving.

Would you eat something that has expired in 2022?

In contrast to what everyone else said, you’re almost certainly fine. I just finished a jar of food I’ve had for more than 10 years. Expirations are no guarantee that food is safe until that point, or bad after, just use common sense and make sure that there’s no fungus or off smell.

What a dumb question.
