Made some corn muffins from a mix. Didn’t rise much and tasted like cardboard. Looking at box - “best if used before Jan 2007.”

That is the baking powder that loses its rising capability after awhile. Similar 'flat' results can occur with dry items that contain yeast.
One solution is to add a teaspoon of fresh baking powder to the mix when you are fixing it.
