Keeping this in consideration, is it OK to use expired bread crumbs?

Bread crumbs are dried, so they last longer than regular bread. If kept away from moisture, which leads to mold, they can last up to 6 months. If stored properly, they may even last longer, though do check for mold or a worrisome smell to judge if bread crumbs have gone bad.

Also Know, do you need to refrigerate panko breadcrumbs? No, they will absorb moisture from the freezing and thawing. Store unused panko in a ziploc bag, in the cupboard. Don't worry, they won't go stale

Moreover, can I use expired panko?

Expired panko bread crumbs. A couple of days ago, I used some expired panko bread crumbs (expired by at least 5 months) for chicken tenders. The chicken tenders smelt and tasted fine as well. I read this and it says that bread crumbs don't spoil, the thing is though that it definitely smelt pretty bad.

Why do breadcrumbs not go Mouldy?

Mold tolerates more, but it needs moisture for life too. Bread is too dry a food, so it doesn't catch bacteria. Store bought breadcrumbs are dried to the point where they can't catch mold. This is why they can be stored for so long.
