You'll be fine. Corn is a grain, and grains store basically forever. All it means is that by now, the nutritional value (hardee har) has diminished - it's not rotten.

To repurpose it though, use it as a dry shampoo. Sprinkle on roots, brush through, voila!

I think you'll be fine, as long as it wasn't growing anything and it tasted okay.

Bad thing is I was basically dipping it in butter. i know im gross. and DH wasent. He looked at me and said...this tastes kinda weird. oops. im on antibiotics from my HSG so maybe that will kill anything.

Use by = no longer good after this date

Best by = only slightly less good if eaten after this date.

How's that?

It wasn't rotten, just stale.  STALE.

It's ok.  I do it all the time.  I don't even knw the long passed expiry of our corn meal.
