Yeah, color and taste will go south well before they are dangerous to eat. If they look like they are supposed to look and taste about as good as an MRE can taste they are fine.

That guy with the MRE channel on youtube has eaten MREs from WW2 without issue, he obviously skips the stuff that you can tell isn't right just by looking at it.

This guy came to mind when I was reading the OP.

I gotta be honest, he's eaten some stuff that I would have passed on too.

Seems to have been fine throughout.
