Tough Pinto Beans

Been soaking & cooking pinto beans for 50+ years for my famous "frijoles". I use organic or non organic dry beans. I purchased several packs of dry organic pinto beans recently. The due date was in the future. Normally, an overnight soak and crock pot slow cooking takes 8-9 hours for soft beans. These beans stay tough after 12 hours of cooking. True for every package of this brand of Safeway Organics: .... not just one batch.
Is the expiration date wrong? Is this some kind of extra tough bean?

Thanks for any ideas.
