Are cake or pancakes mixes bad after expiration dates

Typically dry foods are good until YOU KNOW they are not, and most of then do not expire so they don't list a date and even if they do they may not be pleasant but surely safe to consume. Usually if its not perishable it won't go bad if the conditions are kept. Good luck

YEs ofcourse

I remember hearing about this on the news within the last few years. I believe the conversations started because there was some sort of problem discovered regarding Bisquick (a recall or something). Since then, the "experts" say be careful eating any mix with flour (and flour itself I guess).

Read about it here on Snopes:

Enjoy your pancakes, lol!

Not sure about the yeast. If it is present it should be listed in the ingredients.

I suspect there will be no yeast in cake mix but if there is it will be dried yeast or be in a separate sachet.

I suspect the mix uses either self-raising flour or plain flour and a raising agent such as baking powder or bicarbonate of soda.

If it has been correctly stored and not allowed to become damp it could be used successfully several years after the best before date, though it is unlikely to be as flavoursome it won't harm you.

If the pack contents have become damp or they do not smell wholesome throw it away otherwise try your hand at baking a cake.

It depends on how old they are.
But basically, No!
They are just flour unless they have a fruit item in them like blueberries, etc.

Flour can last for a year if kept in a cool place, otherwise throw it out.

It's possible that it's out of date and lost its leavening 'power'. Check the box directions to make sure your mix can be used for cupcakes. Also, not adding enough liquid might be the problem.

This is just one of many I found at this website http://www.lynettee.com/kidfood10.htm
