Does powdered vanilla expire

Powdered vanilla, like many spices, doesn't have a definitive expiration date but can lose potency over time. It typically remains usable for about 2-3 years if stored in a cool, dark place. While it may not spoil in the traditional sense, its flavor and aroma can diminish, so it's best to use it within that timeframe for optimal taste. Always check for any signs of moisture or clumping, which can indicate spoilage.
