Would be interesting to see the same done with meds, which I suppose may already go overseas to developing markets.

I have an albuterol inhaler that is 14 years past the expiration date and I have used it and it still works as medicine.
it depends what’s in the meds, if there’s anything that will go bad. many last well after expiration. some lose some potency over time but do not go bad.
The process of determining real degradation in medicines is too long and expensive. Therefore, the drug companies check them for a period and, if they’re good, put that period of effectiveness on them. But you can’t depend on their having a longer life. Some expired drugs will kill you.
