Hi

I've just retrieved lots of dry spices in plastic pots from storage.
For how long are they safe to use? They were stored at 10C - 20C.

As long as they stay dry they should be safe to use forever.
Unfortunately they tend to lose their flavor after about 12 months. Keep
them stored in a cool, dry place.

They're probably safe for years, but they lose their flavor in 6 to
12 months, so if I were you, I'd toss them and then buy new ones as
you need them, in small quantities.

I don't think that safety is the issue, but flavour and fragrance are.
