Can bugs grow in expired cake mixes?

Here's why:

* Cake mix itself isn't a food source for bugs. They prefer living plants and organic matter.

* The dry ingredients in cake mix are not likely to attract bugs. However, they can still be susceptible to moisture and humidity.

* Expired cake mix can become stale and lose its flavor. This is due to the breakdown of the ingredients over time.

* It's possible for mold or bacteria to grow on the cake mix, especially if it's exposed to moisture. This can make it unsafe to eat.

In general, it's best to use cake mix within its expiration date. If you're unsure about using an expired cake mix, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
