Default Pasta and flour

Yes I could search the web but I'd rather bring it up here.
Any good for shelf life? Bought some property from family of deceased owner.
In a camper there is 10 tupperware bins each of flour and pasta.(Bunch of ammo cans too-no ammo though) Probably save it but just wanted some ideas.

Depending on how it was stored it could last up to 20-25 yrs assuming there are O2 absorbers in ther and it was air tight. If not the flour is most likely rancid. Pasta is already dehydrated so it can last a good amount of time outside a airtight container.

Personally I would be worried about what they did to it. I would throw it away and start fresh with my own stock....but thats just me.

Stored foods can be used for animal feed or bait long after it is too rank for most people to eat.
