I have some unopened bags of jelly beans left over from Easter, do you think there still ok to eat?

Question

They are the Starburst jelly beans. They have not been opened, just want to make sure i wont get sick from eating them.

Answer 1

Yep just opened a bag myself last week I'm ok. (well not everyone would agree with that. LOL)

Answer 2

If you look around next year they will have discounted jelly beans from this year at some stores, so I would say yup

as for getting sick nope unless you eat them all at the same sitting

Answer 3

Those jelly beans have so many preservatives in them you could eat them 100 years from now and be fine. There isn't anything in them to go bad, it's just sugar. Enjoy.

Answer 4

Shelf life for Jelly Belly brand jelly beans is up to six months, so I'm sure you're fine with whatever brand you have.

Answer 5

I doubt you'll get sick, how long did you used to save your Halloween candy when you were a kid? I made mine last through Christmas, lol, so I think you'll be fine. If you're worried, look for the "best by date" on the bags.

Answer 6

Should be!!!
Sugar does not spoil I still have some 3 years old When I found (bought) two 25lb bags for less than a dollar per lb.

Answer 7

Sugar lasts a long time. You won't get sick unless you eat the whole bag....and that would occur with a fresh bag.

Answer 8

Check the expiration date but if there isn't one I wouldn't eat them. If you want to take the risks eating them then the worst that could happen is you getting sick but if you don't want to get sick or take the risks in eating them then I wouldn't.

Answer 9

actually they have expiration dates, look for the expiration date, some bags only last up to 3 weeks after the holiday. double-check before eating.

Answer 10

Jelly beans last for decades. Those are pretty fresh still. Enjoy.
