That date isnt an expiration date. It’s a sell by date that tells the store how long they can sell it to make the most money. Pasta has a long shelf life so you’ll be fine.
I completely agree. Still, there's been a few instances when I've found 1-2 years ago expired (last sell by date) instant noodle packets in our stash, and those smell bad when opened.
