They are fine, right?
If anything really bad has happened to a gel, it will probably explode (bacteria living off glucose tend to release CO2)
The things which will spontaneously degrade with just age (i.e. air-tight containment has not been compromised) are vitamins, so while your out of date gel probably won't kill you, you also won't be getting all of the advertised goodness.

Whats the most out of date energy gel you've ate?
Over the years I've ate loads that have been a few months past the best before date with no ill effects.
I've just found a massive box of SIS gels in the cupboard that I don't remember buying.
Best before date is August 2020.
