Provided there are no liquids and the packaging is not damaged then indefinitely.
***I had to post this. Ignore this IDIOT that put "INDEFINATELY". NOTHING IS GOOD "INDEFINATELY" as far as Food. Did you ever hear of MOLD? Expiration dates are put for a reason.Go to SNOPES and then ask the question how long after expiration date can you use mixes - cake, pancake etc and you will be horrified at what you read and there certainly should be a warning on the labels- check out that, and I think you will throw away all your old mixes. Pancake Mix is the Highest risk to grow mold and if a person who has a mold allergy ingests it they can die. Mold is formed from Moisture & Yeast (1 or other or both)especially mixes directly in box or in paperbag inside box. Very easy for moisture to get in - so I pose this question: is it worth risking getting yourself or a friend or family member ill or possibly kill them to save $3 on buying a new mix?

∙ 13y agoYou actually should throw out any pancake mix, brownie mix, cake mix, etc, immediately after the expiration date because it can grow mold that could cause a life-threatening allergic reaction.

∙ 11y agoGenerally, it is never a good idea to use any food product that is past its expiration date due to its ingredients changing stability and some ingredients growing bacteria.
Most pancake mixes have dried or powdered milk and eggs in it and after sitting on a shelf past its expiration date they may start to grow bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
If it is only a day or two past the expiration date I do not think that it would be a big issue but if it is over a month old I would throw it out and get a fresh one!

Use extracts and flavorings to give cake mixes your personal touch. Coconut extract is a wonderful compliment to chocolate cake mix, as well as to brownie mix, as is cherry flavoring. Adding butter flavoring to yellow and white cake mix gives them a wonderful rich taste. And adding vanilla extract to any cake mix intensifies the natural flavors of any cake mix. Experiment with your favorite extract flavors and cake mixes; you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.

How do you use Pillsbury chocolate cake flour?
There seems to be some misunderstanding. Pillsbury - and other companies - produce chocolate cake mixes, along with chocolate brownie mixes, cookie mixes, and so forth. These mixes include ordinary all purpose or cake flour combined with sugar, cocoa and other ingredients. You use the mix by adding other things, usually eggs, oil or butter, water or milk according to the directions on the package. > But there is not a commercial product that is "chocolate cake flour." Flour is simply flour; cake flour has less gluten (a protein) than all-purpose or bread flour. You need to add cocoa or baking chocolate to the cake flour in order to make chocolate cake.
How does baking temperature affect the chewiness of brownies?
