re: rice, my thoughts are if it doesn't have weevils, it's good. Of course, you can cook it and it'll taste stale, so that'll be that packet in the bin. In grossness terms, Mum obviously doesn't go through as much rice as we do (1kg/2 weeks apparently) since her packet of basmati had weevils, and she just picked them out.
Also, use by dates are guides, a bit like the "Take 1-2 tablets" on the back of panadol. Use at own discretion. ;)
