Are there any Pesach implications to using last year's products? Is it
permissible to keep things through an entire year of chameitz? Not
asking
really about seder material, but everyday stuff.

It depends on what it is. Certain items (like spices), I seal up and put
away in my Pesach storage boxes. Or if I have something that I never
opened (like an unopened canister of matzah meal with the seal still on)
or a can of something, I'll put it away for next year. But something like
an open box of matzoh or half used can of matzah meal...I leave that in my
regular cupboard and try to use up during the year. If any of that is
still left the next Pesach, I would assume that it had be contaminated
with chametz and would not use it. For health and safety reasons, I try to
mark dates even on unopened things. Keeping an unopened can or box of
something for one year is one thing, but I would not want to use a
5-year-old jar of KLP mayonnaise or canned pineapple, even if it had never
been opened.


For health reasons, unrelated to Pesach, watch those cans. If you're going
to keep a can of anything for a while, before you open it check for
bulging and also rust around the seams, which may well mean that whatever is
inside is spoiled. Such cans should always be discarded and not consumed.
