If they’re fortified it’s recommended that you don’t sprout them. If they are not fortified them they are fine to sprout.

How do I know if it’s fortified or not??

If they're not fortified, if they do sprout then that will show you the quality of the seeds (if they don't sprout, then the seeds were already dead).
