If it's not frozen or refrigerated, probably a few months as the oils in Wheat Germ can go rancid. You will know if you smell it. It will get a rancid smell that is distinctive. If it still smells fresh and wheaty, it's likely fine.

If the sunflower seeds are kept in their original, sealed factory package, they can go a year. Note that the seed and nut packers have taken a lesson from the makers of snack foods like potato chips and are putting up their products in packages from which the air has been flushed with nitrogen gas. This nitrogen - the packers usually use the term "low oxygen" - packing extends shelf life by a general factor of from 2 to 4. Freezing the hulled seeds in original packing makes storage okay for even longer periods. This data applies to roasted seeds. Raw seeds may not do so well. Wanna surf on over to the National Sunflower Association web site and see what you can find there? You got links.

Sesame seeds have a shelf life of about two years if stored tightly capped in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator.
