When I began prepping, “use by” and “best by” was not required to be on canned or packaged goods. So, I called the companies. Now, those dates being there makes food storage much easier.
For really long term food storage, I ordered from Walton Food to have food with a 20-25 year life and likely good past that time. That’s hermetically sealed food.
I tried sealing flour myself and you don’t want to know how that looked after a couple of years, so I dumped that and got sealed Walton flour.
I could buy actual sealed wheat from them as I have a Family Grain Mill but since it’s just me here, I haven’t done that. Maybe I should.
You probablly have actual wheat - right?
I have food savers and canning jars but, they are primarily for when the world goes to hell.
I’m lazy, so I ordered powdered milk, eggs, wheat, rice and beans(various) already packaged for 20 years.
It’s not a money thing for me as I don’t intend on opening the packages ever and if I do I hope to be very happy that a younger man thought to save up....just in case.

Wheat for long term storage, and a grinder of course.
Packaged flour for normal use prior to having to break in to your long term storage. That’s what we do. Imbedded weevils can always pose a problem for flour. Someone on a question and answer blog says she freezes her flour for a few days and then takes it out and hasn’t had a problem since.
