Please, do not try to eat any out-dated canned foods! Canned foods are susceptible to really nasty things like botulism and other poisons that can/will kill people. Eating old, out-dated frozen foods is much safer than eating old canned foods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has many free, or nearly free, printed publications about canning, freezing, storing foods; preparation of foods; you-name-it-they've-got-it on foods! I discovered the USDA printed matter in the late 1960s. They are still going strong, still free or nearly free, and still brimming with good information! I received several booklets with instructions for canning and freezing vegetables that were easy to read, well-written, and the price was right! I'm sure you can find them on the internet now. There is a location in Pueblo, CO that sends out hundreds of publications. Please, before you make a terrible mistake, read a well-documented booklet about canning foods. Find out what sort of dangers exist, as well as what sort of benefits there are. It can be all good, if you know what you are doing!

How long can food can last?
Canned food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Canned food retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of color and texture. Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercially sterile. Food safety is not an issue in products kept on the shelf or in the pantry for long periods of time. In fact, canned food has an almost indefinite shelf life at moderate temperatures (75° F and below). Canned food as old as 100 years has been found in sunken ships and it is still microbiologically safe! We don't recommend keeping canned food for 100 years, but if the can is intact, not dented or bulging, it is edible.http://www.EatByDate.com For more Shelf Life and Food Storage InfoIf the cans are not damaged, years.

Is canned food still good after the expiration date?
There is no magic date. It will depend on the quality of the food to begin with, the quality and type of container and the subsequent handling and storage thereof. Even canned, food will degrade and change color, texture and flavor. I have used some items that were a year past the coded date. They were edible, but I could tell the difference when compared to newer product. Many canned foods are coded with 2 and even 3 year shelf lives. But for best quality and nutrition, plan to use canned goods within a year. If you are trying to maintain a cache of canned foods, use product throughout the year and replace it with fresh stock. Use the FIFO method - First In First Out. Always use the oldest items first.
Can you put canned food in the fridge?

Eating canned tuna fish left in hot weather for 5 days?
Canned tuna fish will still be good to eat if the can has not been opened. Because it is canned, it is protected from any bacteria. A good way to tell if a canned food is still okay to eat is to hear the sound of rushing air entering the can when it is first punctured. This sound means that the seal is intact and the food is safe to eat.
