Assuming this is white rice, and assuming it was stored correctly, it should be perfectly fine. Obviously not an ideal signal to send, but a lot of dry foodstuff har a very very long shelf life, well past the expiration date that usually has to be put on by law.
A quick search shows that only two news outlets reported this, both Indian. Both indicate X as their source. Neither the Pakistani nor the Sri Lankan authorities have confirmed it.
You know what **is** confirmed officially? That the US destroyed 500 tons of emergency food this year, despite having multiple offers from aid organizations to distribute it for free. The US preferred to pay to destroy it, rather than let it reach the people who needed it.
