Most any freeze dried and vacuum packed or nitrogen packed foods will last for several decades as long as they are not subjected to extremes of heat or cold. Store them in a cellar or basement raised off of the floor like on a pallet or similar. If you can keep them dry and without wild swings in temps you'll be golden.

I had a can of red wheat berries from 1973 given to me that I thought was iffy as it was 2018, so I tossed the contents outside. About 1/3 of it grew! The can said they were just nitrogen packed.

I have a bunch of freeze dried items stored in my pantry. I'll get the brand for you later, but honestly I haven't eaten a bit of it yet so I don't know if it will taste worth a damn or how long this particular brand will actually last. Most items I bought say between 20 to 30 years.
