It's 2012 when I write this. I just made a Pizza with an outdated can of anchovies listed as being expired since 2009. I ate all but one slice. I'm still here.
Yes, but if you store canned anchovies properly in a cool and dry environment, they will last a long time. Check the expiration date or "sell by" date for more guidance on how long yours will last.
If its the day of the expiration date yes but not after.
no, canned fruit expires in can faster than other canned foods. Follow the expiration.
no
It should have an expiration date stamped on the can somewhere. If today is before that date, then it is ok to eat.
Yes it does but you might have to contact the Manufacturer. The code at the bottom of the can (or even the date) is not the expiration date. Its most likely the date in which it was made.
Production Date
If you are smart, you probably won't.
An unopened can of canned crab has a pantry shelf life of 3 to 5 years. An opened can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.
In theory: Quite some time. In fact: Canned food becomes more and more tasteless and unappetizing as it ages. In practice: Discard canned food past it's expiration date.
If they were frozen before the expiration date, there shouldn't be a problem. If they have been in the refrigerator, toss them.
It depends what kind of expiration date like on milk or food or drinks it should say A black Print that says a month and a date and the year thats the expiration date...
