Marty, if you open it and the powder is still white, then why not use it? Do a clip test to confirm before you throw a whole roll in there. I just recently used a very old package (1980's maybe?...old foil pouch) of D76 that dropped a lot of white sediment in the stock bottles. Clip test worked great, so I went ahead and used it. All films turned out perfectly -- nice punchy negs. The 1 gallon of stock lasted well over a year until I used it all up, and none of it went off (stored in 1/2L bottles). FYI, I decanted the stock slowly to leave the sediment in the bottom...all good.
