I just realized that my bread flour expired three years ago! I used it to make a batter for fried chicken. I didn’t notice any odd smell, but I’m concerned—should I be worried about getting sick?

Using expired flour, especially one that is several years past its expiration date, can pose some risks. While flour may not have a noticeable smell, it can still develop bacteria or mold over time. If the flour appeared fine and you cooked the chicken thoroughly, the chances of getting sick are reduced, but there is still a possibility, especially if the flour was contaminated in some way.
If you start feeling any unusual symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal discomfort, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional. For future cooking, it’s a good idea to check expiration dates and use fresh ingredients to ensure safety and the best flavor in your dishes.
