does sugar have a use by date?

[kimosabby]

having a clear out and found various sugars in a tuppaware box I have.

the brewing sugar had a use by date but the table sugar had no markings;

thoughts? I generally use sealed stuff like packs and cans up to a couple of years down the line wihtout an issue

They have use by dates but they're pretty pointless. If you're paranoid then get it to 70c for a minute in some water before using it.

only slight risk is that the sugar could have taken on flavours if stored along side spices etc.

Depends what you are using it for as to whether this will be a problem or not!
