HP LASERJET 131A

I have three un-opened HP LASERJET 131A ink cartridges. The colors are Magenta (CF213A), Cyan (CF211A), and Black (CF210A). There are some numbers on the back of the box that looks like manufactured dates with the year first, month, then day. The magenta has numbers on the back that read 20170602. The cyan has 20170726. The black has 20160126. I assume these are the manufacture dates. Are these cartridges expired? Do they have an expiration date? God bless and Thank You!

There are no expiration dates on HP toner cartridges, the numbers and dates on the box are for HP internal references.
