Does garlic powder go bad

Garlic powder does not spoil in the traditional sense, but it can lose its potency and flavor over time. Typically, it has a shelf life of about 3-4 years if stored in a cool, dry place away from light. While it may not be harmful to consume after this period, its taste and aroma may significantly diminish. Always check for any signs of moisture or clumping, which can indicate degradation.
