If all the pieces are unopened, then yes, it is safe to make. There have been numerous studies done about expiration dates and how for the most part they are meaningless. They are indicators of freshness, not spoilage. I keep fresh mild around for coffee and baking. Milk will stay fresh in my refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks past the date printed on the carton.

Milk - fresh 3-4 was after exp. date? I usually just give it 10 days - maybe. It seems the container, wax or plastic smells like old milk.....I think I'm going to begin putting milk into a glass jug...like the old glass milk bottles!

We lived for years with no dates on our foods. Personally, I think it's a good way for waste and selling more food. Grant you chips, crackers and bagged snacks can age and taste stale, fresh only lasts so long. But canned, boxed and frozen last a long time. Frozen, especially if it is done in one of the seal a meals and kept in a 0 degree freezer. I keep my cake and pancake mixes in the refrigerator.

I never really noticed expiration dates on my canned food. One day I took out a can of creamed corn, and it had expired a year ago. I opened the can and OMG it looked awful. The can wasn't bulging or anything. No way was I going to smell it! Lesson learned - Don't give expired canned goods to the food shelf.
