Dry Products for Longer-Term Food Storage

Products intended for longer-term storage must be dry (about 10% or less moisture content).
Warning: Botulism poisoning may result if moist products are stored in packaging that reduces oxygen.
Dry products that are not suitable for longer-term storage due to moisture content, oils, or other concerns include:
Barley, pearled
  Meat, dried (such as jerky)
Eggs, dried
Nuts
Flour, whole wheat
Rice, brown
Grains, milled (other than rolled oats)
Sugar, brown      
Granola
Vegetables and fruits, dehydrated  (unless dry enough, inside and out, to snap when bent)
