This package of sauerkraut has been refrigerated since I bought it. "Best used by" date is 09/09/25. It smells ok. What do you think? Can I still eat it? It will be cooked with other ingredients.

I can't speak for that brand, but i have had kept bags of silverfloss in a container in my fridge for well over a year and they never went bad. I keep them till the kraut losses its krunch.

I should have clarified that my Cleveland Kraut has no preservatives--just green cabbage, kosher salt, and caraway seed. I see that both Silverfloss and Kissling have sodium benzoate and sodium bisulfite as preservatives. I wonder if that makes a difference?
