My cat with pancreatitis ate expired dental treats. Should I worry?

Question

I accidentally gave my cat treats that had a best by date of April 2019. He is currently being treated for pancreatitis- prednisone 2x a day, buprenorphine 2x a day, and cerenia 1x a day. Is there anything I should be worried about after giving him these treats? I gave him three when giving him his medicine. They were feline greenies dental treats, salmon flavor.

If they have been keep inside in a coolish temperature I think they are probably OK. The "best by" date is put on there because that is the longest date that tests have shown the shelf life to be for the treats but they are typically OK for longer. I guess I would throw them out now just to be on the safe side.
