I bought a pack of whole medjool dates and they have this stuff all over them? I’ve never seen it other times I’ve bought them. Any ideas? And are they safe to eat???

I think they are all rotten . Check for little worms inside !

It seems like your dates are developing sugar on them. This is a natural process where the sugar in the dates begins to crystallize on the surface, creating a fine white layer.

As the other commenter stated, it’s just sugar crystals. Completely fine to eat.
