Can you use Duncan Hines moist delicious cake mix after date?

Of course you can. Cake mix has an expiration date, but it means nothing. I once used a cake mix 2.5 years after expiration, and it was still great.


How do you read the expiration date on a Duncan Hines cake mix?

From the Duncan Hines Blog: Every Duncan Hines product will list either an expiration date or manufacturing date on the package. This date can be found on the top of most packages. If the box has the words "Rec Use By" or "Rec Best By", followed by a date, then what is listed is the expiration date. As an example, "Rec Best By Apr 29 05" means the product should be used by April 29, 2005. For best taste and product quality, we recommend that the product always be used by this expiration date. Any remaining numbers and letters are a plant code which doesn't involve the use by date. If the product does not clearly state "Rec Use By" or "Rec Best By", this is an item stamped with the manufacturing date. Holding the package under a direct light, you will see a series of numbers and a letter either stamped in ink, indented or pressed into the package --- these are not the bar coded numbers which grocery stores use for pricing. The first number represents the year in which the product was made. For instance, a 4 means it was made in 1994, a 3 is 1993 and so on. The next 3 numbers represent the day of the year the product was made. An example would be 4122E42, which would mean the product was made in 1994 on the 122nd day, or May 2, 1994. The remaining numbers and letters are a plant code which doesn't involve the date. Duncan Hines Layer Cake mixes perform best if used within two years of the manufacturing date. Other Duncan Hines mixes and frostings should be used within one year. This time frame is only a guideline. If stored in a cool, dry area our products will remain fresh longer. Older mix is not harmful in any way; however, the leavening ingredient is affected by age, and the product may not rise properly. You can contact Duncan Hines from their site on the link below.

How long past the expiration date can you safely use cake and brownie mixes?

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?
