Does Brown sugar go bad
I have a sealed box in pantry. Might even be a year old. I cannot find a date on it ANWHERE

Re: Does Brown sugar go bad
I don't think so, but how does it feel? Mushy like it's supposed to when it's fresh? If it's hard as a rock I might ditch it because it means there's a hole somewhere - if the bag is sealed, it should stay mushy.
I could be completely wrong about all that, but I keep my stuff for a while too and I've never had a problem.

I do what Becca does, mushy/soft consistency I'd use it; hard, I'd toss it.

Re: Does Brown sugar go bad
Yup! It is soft and mushy like the new box I bought. I also had a half opened box int here too that was hard as a rock so I threw that away, but this other one is all sealed and not hard at all!
Ok I say safe to use!
Thanks ladies!

It doesn't go bad, just gets rock hard if you don't use it. It's too much trouble to soften it, so I toss and buy fresh.
Give the bag a squeeze,if it is soft then go ahead and use it.

Even if it's hard there is directions on the box to soften it. You should still be able to use it.

According to an article I read on CNN.com, brown sugar never goes bad, even when lumpy.
