How quickly does wheat germ become rancid if unsealed in the kitchen cabinet?

RazzleDazzle asked:

I just made meat balls with wheat and right after I placed them in the oven I noticed the container says to refrigerate after opening. The wheat germ has been unsealed in my cabinet for a few months. Should I pitch them?
