Sup guys, I got these Quest Bars for free at a giveaway that have a November expiration date. Will they still offer substantial nutrition?

Things that taste like heinous asshole and creme usually retain nutrition.
Pretty sure those pieces of shit could survive a nuclear apocalypse.

Fermented protein is best protein.

You could probably unwrap those things, set them on your porch in the rain, come back a week later and still be able to eat them. I don't think bacteria are even able to break them down.

This is a good episode of 99 Percent Invisible:

TLDR:
> Over the years we’ve lost track of what these labels meant in the first place. We’ve come to associate the dates with safety, when in fact, they’ve always been about freshness. As much as we might want them to, the dates on our food are not going to tell us if we’ll get salmonella or e-coli.
Most date labels are arrived at by conducting taste tests. Does a product still taste good on day 4? Day 5?
Also, buddy, what could have happened to the protein since November? How could the nutritive content have changed?
i imagine they are fine, they're sealed pretty well and if they were kept in reasonable conditions there is no reason why they would have broken down at all

What about the dates on dairy products?

Expiration dates are a shit meme by the FDA
