Question: Is it safe to eat cake mix that says, Best if used by November 27, 2010?
I cooked and ate it, and realized the box said the 27... am I going to get sick? O_o

Answers:

get sick? you are going to die!
jk its fine, its usually good for quite a while after the actual date.



No, you'll be fine. Chances are the date is really more for the baking powder in the mix which will start to loose some of it's potency after a certain time and your cake won't rise as high as it did before the date.



It's fine. It's BEST if used by. That means it starts loosing its freshness after that, but it's still good for quite awhile after.



It's fine. The box was never opened and also there was nothing not normal looking in the box. You will be fine.



You should be okay but open it up and look at it first.
