minus-squareHakFoolinkfedilinkarrow-up41·1 year agoCobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years. If the 7-1-63 is a date stamp of original manufacture, it’s gone through over 11 half-lives. There’s less than .05% of the original flavour. I don’t know about the decay products, but I’d wonder how far we are from legitimately edible.
