I went to the following website and obtained an answer regarding the shelf life of flour:
http://www.stilltasty.com and here is the answer: Stilltasty.com FOOD STORAGE — HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP... FLOUR, WHOLE WHEAT — UNOPENED OR OPENED PACKAGE Refrigerator 6-8 months Freezer 2 years Store in cool, dry area. Once package is opened, transfer flour to a covered airtight container or place original flour bag in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To extend shelf life, store flour in the refrigerator or freezer.
