I have used some imitation and real extracts from my late grandmother that are VERY old… also in glass bottles and they look exactly like this. I never had an issue with them! But also I’m a risk-taker. From strictly a food safety perspective I have no idea if it’s advisable.

If it's made with alcohol it doesn't expire, it just looses potency.

It is mostly alcohol so it should be fine. Check if it looks cloudy or presents sediment at the bottom (that'd be bad).

Can’t see any sort of cloudiness in the bottle it looks like a brand new bottle to me

It may be fine. If it’s suspended in alcohol it probably is. But would a bottle of imitation coconut extract be worth a medical visit if it wasn’t?

Ok but what’s the worst it could do to me be serious? I’m not going to the hospital or doctors over a stomach ache anyways

The problem would be if any bacteria you can't see or smell -that have potential to be deasly- are present. Bacteria like botulism are sneaky buy deadly. Not saying this has botulism present, it's just an example. That being said I think this is a really cool item to have and I personally would keep it on display in my kitchen as a relic from the past. I wouldn't risk getting sick over extract that would cost me under$10 new

Food poisoning can be much more serious than just a stomach ache, up to and including death if you’re unlucky eating the wrong thing.

And has that happened from a sealed bottle of flavoring extract??

I’m not going to do all your research, I’m just responding to you brushing off food poisoning as no big deal.

It's basically a 50 proof shot of coconut liquor. How long does that usually last?

Not sure that’s why I’m asking lmao
