This may seem dumb, but there is no expriration date - does it ever expire if in a sealed container?
Does dry reptile food expire?

Not really .... it might if opened frequently though.
I use the dry reptile food (pellets) to feed my crickets (superworms and mealworms when I have them , as a supplement to the oat and wheat bran and carrots).
More of hit with the crickets than they ever were with the beardies and bluetongues.
I usually 4 bottles of RepCal Adult Beardie Pellets at time (saves on postage) and this will last about 8 months.

Ok so if I have a bottle that fell behind my cabinet for several years that had the sealer open but the lid was closed - it's dangerous to feed it?
Also, from other posts I'm guessing calcium liquid and powder doesn't expire. Correct?

I know the calcium liquid goes off. I had an old bottle of it in the fridge that had been there for 6 years, opened and syringed up some and it looks off.
If in doubt the safest tack is to toss it out. It's probably OK if it looks OK and smells OK to feed to the insects.

To clarify, the pellets are beardie food - not cricket food.

I know, but the crickets LOVE the dry adult beardie pellets none-the-less and it's a great way to gut load them along with some leafy greens.
I discovered they like them by accident, I dropped a pellet on the floor one day when was giving pellets as a treat to Rex and Puff and spotted a rogue cricket running across the kitchen floor dragging the pellet.
More of hit with crickets than the dragons (even if I soften them).

So, the older food would be beneficial to at the very least feed to my crickets?
