Didz just spoke to a squaddie mate, he said they should be fine but probably wouldn't eat the cheese if there's any!!

probably try one and see how your stomach is 3 hours later!!

Officially it's 4 years for packs (except the cheese and pate packs which can go bad much sooner). Chocolate is usually about 1 year (the use by dates are on the Yorkies)

They can last as long as 10 years, depending on how they are stored, one give away if they are starting to go bad is that the packs start to swell
