Forget the date, especially if you do not know how they were stored in the grocery store. (Were the nuts refrigerated?) Open the bag and smell the walnuts. If they smell fresh and slightly nutty, they are fine to eat. If you make a sour face after smelling them, throw them out! Rancid oil has a very distinctive smell, and eating rancid nuts can make you sick.
