I went to the following website and obtained an answer regarding the
shelf life of flour:
http://www.stilltasty.com
and here is the answer:
Stilltasty.com
FOOD STORAGE — HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP...
FLOUR, WHOLE WHEAT — UNOPENED OR OPENED PACKAGE
Refrigerator
6-8 months
Freezer
2 years
Store in cool, dry area.
Once package is opened, transfer flour to a covered airtight container
or place original flour bag in a resealable plastic freezer bag.
To extend shelf life, store flour in the refrigerator or freezer.

If your wholewheat flour still smells ok, then i'd definitely use it.

Subject: [CnD] Whole wheat flour question
Hi,
I am hoping someone can give me advice. I have whole wheat flour in my
freezer in a sealed plastic
container. When I purchased it I always put it directly in the freezer as
I
don't use it as often as
white flour. When I do bake with whole wheat I just take out the amount I
need from the freezer. I
just realized that my whole wheat flour is probably 2 years old. My
question
is can I still use it?
Thanks!
Shannon
