Is 4yr old bagged sand still good?

I have 2 bags of Caribsea Agramax sand that have been sitting thiere for 4yrs. Is it still good to use?

This is a dry sand.

Thanks

As long as it's sealed, or at least closed, I don;t see why not..

I had it left over I started my tank and didn't need it. But I would like to add some to the tank. Just want to make sure I don't poison the tank.

Thanks

Sand stays good forever as long as nothing has spilled on it. Just rinse it and go at it.
