Can you get food poisoning from expired sunflower seeds if they're over 10 years old and out of the shell and an open bag?

Not likely. Food poisoning usually is a result of:
# The consequences of ingested enterotoxin # The consequences of ingested bacteria that produce toxins, but do not invade the mucosa, and are usually quickly cleared by the immune system Sunflower seeds do not contain any enterotoxins or compounds that can possibly degrade into enterotoxins in significant amounts, this rules out the possibility of #1.
Since sunflower seeds are dry (and will likely dry further in the open), bacterial and fungal growth is nil even in the 10-year period, and this rules out the possibility of #2. Therefore, unless the sunflower seeds are in contact with a contaminated area or is in a very humid environment, they will likely cause no problems upon consumption (other than tasting stale).

It is unlikely that you would get food poisoning from consuming 10-year-old sunflower seeds that are out of the shell and stored in an open bag. However, the seeds may taste rancid, stale, or have lost their nutritional value over time. It's best to discard them and opt for fresh seeds to enjoy.
