Help. Can I use a cake mix that has a "best if used" date of 10/2007? Would you do it?

Thanks

sure. It might not rise as much, but that's all. it's just flour, sugar, baking powder/soda...

Yes, I'd probably use it if it was older even.

I just made up one of those single serve pkgs today for the kids that exp'd 6/07....no complaints. Tasted fine.

"Best if used by" means that you can use it past the date, it just might not be the best quality. "Expires on" means you shouldn't use it.
A cake mix would be fine, but something more perishable, like lunch meat, you would throw out, unless you had it in the freezer.

I've used exipred cake mixes before with no problems.
