YES, but only if you have severe Allergies to mold or yeast in which case you shouldn't be eating them anyways. The age of the product has no effect on its safety if it was in a sealed original package, since without air the yeast can not activate and the mold spore will never grow.

The only documented case was from a 19 year old that ate two pancakes made from a mix that had been left open for over two years. His companions all stopped after one bite because they didn't taste right ,but he finished off his stack of pancakes. He had a history of Asthma and severe mold allergies.
