...I should probably test some of my older ones to assure they are still good.
Yep.  When I first started drying foods,I seriously overestimated how long they would last, and ended up wasting a lot of food.  (Not entirely wasted, I suppose, since they ended up in the compost pile.)
Don't trust the storage times they give you in books and magazine articles.  A lot depends on weather, humidity, how they're stored, and even their freshness when you dried them.
Treat them like the rest of your food supplies, and make your dried foods a regular part of your diet.  Rotate them out to ensure none of your food is going bad.  And yes, that includes your store-bought freeze-dried foods as well.  They may say they'll last for 25 years, but I wouldn't want to put that to the test.
