Ok, according to their website, that is a "sell by" or "best by" date for the highest quality not an expiration date.
I found this on one of the food safety sites:
Shelf Stable Foods
Before opening, shelf stable foods should be safe unless the can or packaging has been damaged. After opening, store products in tightly closed containers. The storage of many shelf stable items at room temperature is a quality issue - unless the product is contaminated (bugs in flour, for example).
Some creative recipes that feature Velveeta cheese as a key ingredient include Velveeta mac and cheese, Velveeta cheese dip, Velveeta grilled cheese sandwiches, and Velveeta cheeseburger sliders.
invented Velveeta cheese
A good substitute for Velveeta cheese in recipes is a combination of cheddar cheese and cream cheese. This blend can provide a similar creamy texture and flavor to Velveeta in dishes like macaroni and cheese or dips.

No. I would try not to eat something expired just to be safe. Expiration dates are there for a reason. Still expiration dates are approximate so it depends on how long Velveeta Au gratin potatoes have been expired.

Probably Velveeta Cheese.
Velveeta was created in the Kraft Foods laboratory in 1928.
Velveeta is the brand name of a processed cheese product having a taste that is identified as a type of American cheese, but with a softer and smoother texture than cheese.
Processed cheese like Velveeta can be turned into a variety of things and a part of many dishes. One of the great uses for this product is creating cheese based dips. Another is to create a cheddar cheese type soup with Velveeta as the base.
Some alternatives to Velveeta cheese that can be used in recipes include cheddar cheese, American cheese, cream cheese, and a combination of milk and shredded cheese for a similar creamy texture.
Velveeta is a type of cheese produced by Kraft Foods. More information about Velveeta cheese can be found on the Kraft Food website, which also has information on other products from Kraft.
