Manufacturers are require to put dates on products, but just because something is past the expiration date does not mean it is spoiled, especially dry, boxed products. You can use an outdated cake mix, but it may have lost color, flavor, and nutritional value. It is unlikely to be harmful. Check the mix for signs of mold or insects. If it looks and smells okay it is most likely safe to use.
