Is it safe to eat expired cake mixes?

Answer 1

It should be as long as a) there aren't any critters in it b) it's completely airtight and sealed and c) you don't have any severe Allergies to mold. If it tastes and/or smells funny, I wouldn't risk it.

Answer 2

It depends on how expired your Pizza mix is. One day .. two days .. or already expired for 5 years. Also .. it depends on what kind of pizza mix you've got : dried or not. But for me , every expired food is DANGEROUS . I read a lot in newspaper about people died because eating expired food.

Answer 3

The dry mixes which are included in cake mixes are probably safe to cook and eat, since they are hygienically sealed and contain no moisture. However the main issues are that the longer past the expiry the mix, the less flavoursome it will be - things like cocoa and spices tend to lose their taste fairly quickly after production, meaning the finished cake may not taste as good as intended. The second issue is whether the leavening agents in the cake mix will have lost any of their effectiveness, since these also have a tendency to expire quickly.

If the cake mix includes something similar to premixed butter icing, you should be more cautious about using that if it has expired - foods which contain moisture go off/ change to an odd texture more readily.

Answer 4

Almost certainly not. If it just sat around in the cupboard (was stored properly), make the cake, serve it up and enjoy it.

Answer 5

Well it all really depends. If bugs are in it then definetly no. If mold is in it then no. But if it looks alright and edible, then give it a try! :)

Answer 6

depends what the cake mix is made of

it should be fine for a couple months after if its just dry ingrdients ie flour assorted powders etc

Answer 7

No, the expiration dates are established for both food quality and safety.

It might be possible as they are a dried mixture and have additives to lengthen their life.

Answer 8

No, you are going to get a stomach ache. It is also not healthy to eat something that expired for such a long time.
