How to Say "matured" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “matured” is “vencido” — B2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Time vs. Food
In Spanish, 'vencido' usually refers to deadlines, contracts, or official documents. For food or medication that has gone bad, it is often more natural to use 'caducado'.
Using 'Ser' vs. 'Estar'
Mistake: “Mi pasaporte es vencido.”
Correction: Mi pasaporte está vencido. Use 'estar' because expiration is a temporary state or condition of the object, not a permanent characteristic.
