Eat it. If it gets to old the worse thing it will do is bake a little flat or not taste up to par. It won’t kill ya. If your looking to stretch your grocery nickels that isn’t the best way to buy it. It would be convenient for camping tho.

The only problem I'd have with it is the leavening going weak. Baking powder tends not to age well, so I stayed away from self-rising solutions when I camped. My advice would be to fix it per instructions and if I didn't get enough bubbles in the batter, I'd hit it with a teaspoon of baking powder.
I've made pancakes from much older mixes without a problem. After a couple of years, the flour starts to get stale. It's still edible, but not very tasty.

It makes for very high priced pancakes. If you don't want to mix your own, a powdered mix is far cheaper per pancake. You're paying a lot for water and a plastic bottle. Many expiration dates are only there because the feds say they have to have one. They're meaningless. This likely won't last for several years but it'll last way beyond the sell date.

In a second. That date doesn't scare me. So, you’d consume year old milk or eggs?

You’re right…I had to google… thought maybe it was already pre mixed… yeah, I’d eat it. Hot water cornbread (corn dodgers) would be better.
