do you think it means anything? I'm eating stuff which is two months over the use-by date. Will I die?

Looks like you might still be OK:

Pantry, or shelf stable (non-perishable) foods, like cereal, baking mixes, and peanut butter may display ?best if used by (or before)? dates. These indicate the shelf-life of a product?they tell you when a product is no longer at peak flavor, texture, and appearance. You can safely eat most of these types of foods past their listed date if they?ve been stored properly, but they may not taste their best or be as nutritious.

Peanuts are a very oily nut, and they will go rancid.

With that said, you should be able to tell if it's gone bad.

If it tastes/smells fine, then you're good to go.

Thanks man. I feel a little safer now.

And you're right, it tastes a little 'weak' or something. More buttery, I'd say.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, this stuff isn't exactly rancid. It's a bit less (or more) than the usual flavor but seems to be OK.
