I have instant udon noodles which expired October 1, 2025. Still safe to eat? For how long past the expiration date is it good for? (I have a few)

    It’s fine. It just might not taste as fresh as it once did (if it ever tasted fresh).

    It has enough sodium to choke a horse, they can’t possibly go bad.

    Most cup noodles “expiry” is just their best before, meaning it’s just not gonna taste as good once it goes past that date, it should still be plenty edible. Varies from each type and brand of cup noodles of course but those things typically store for a looooong time before it becomes dangerous to consume.

    I’ve used noodles expired for 2 yrs. Still good. To my mind, dried noodles are forever unless it gets moldy.
