My son is over 1yr old and still gets formula for an allergy. is it okay to give expired formula? i have a ton that expired oct. 1st

Expired formula: It is always best to stop the formula after expiration date has occurred. Efficacy of the elements in the formula may not be as good, sometimes even getting sick from it. That said, one can use outdated formula x 1 month after the expiration, but would throw out end Oct when used up.
