Baking soda is a simple inorganic chemical, sodium bicarbonate. It does not deteriorate when exposed to dry air. It can last for years if properly stored.
Baking soda may go bad if you keep it in a moist area. It absorbs moisture.
It also absorbs various air borne chemicals. If it has not been stored, then these contaminants may have been absorbed or changed it from a powder to lumps.
It is a common mistake to think that you can keep it fresh in a refrigerator. That serves to expose it to odors and moisture and is good for the refrigerator but not for the baking soda.

∙ 11y agoNo, baking powder is not likely to go bad. Nevertheless, it should not be kept past the expiration date on the package, and should not be used if it has become caked into a hard mass.

What can you use instead baking soda?
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).
