OK, so you if you won't hold me responsible... I will share that I have used yeast that is further outdated than yours. However, if you don't want to risk it totally being flat bread you could look it up to find how you test yeast. I buy the little jar and keep it in the fridge. Have on occasion left it sitting on the counter and it still worked. But, most definitely have used the foil packets that are way past date and it was fine.
