I just used some baking soda that is 4 years expired. Did the water test (tsp of soda - add a little water - see if it fizzes) to make sure it was potent. Then went on to use it.
I had NO problems baking biscuits with it. Turned out great.

∙ 8y agoBaking powder is mixture of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and a weak acid salt. When used in recipe the moisture causes the carbon dioxide to be liberated from the carbonate compounds and act as a chemical leavening agent (it makes the bread rise). When expired the humidity in the air has acted on the acid salt and caused the carbonate to be exhausted. As a result the powder will not cause the dough to rise.There is no health problem with using the expired powder, just a failure of the powder to do its job, There is some potential that the expired power may still be potent enough to make the cooking rise, but there is potential for off/bad/flat tastes due to other chemical reactions.
