When do spices really expire?

Spices that are kept cool in an airtight and dark container will last for many many years.

Some degradation over time will occur, but this is only to be expected.

Most dry food does not actually "expire"... it just get a different taste as the air (especially the oxygen) reacts with it. This new taste is not always to the better, and we say that it is too old, even if the food is actually perfectly safe to eat.

The same goes for spices.

Keeping them in an airtight dark container minimize the exposure to oxygen and other stuff that might start to degrade it. Spices last a looong time.
