Is it okay to eat canned foods that are expired by like a month or two?!
Answers:
Shelf life is different from expiration date; the former relates to food quality, the latter to food safety!. A product that has passed its shelf life might still be safe, but quality is no longer guaranteed!. In most food stores, shelf life is maximized by using stock rotation, which involves moving products with the earliest sell by date to the front of the shelf, meaning that most shoppers will pick them up first and so getting them out of the store!. This is important, as some stores can be fined for selling out of date products, and most if not all will have to mark such products down as wasted, leading to a loss of profit!.
As someone who has eaten C-Rations, I'd say that canned foods are okay as long as they are not bulging, dripping or hissing!.

Yes! But with anything even if it is in date always smell to be sure! They often put dates on to get you to use sooner so you will buy more!. I have used very out of date canned goods with no problem!. Its always good to rotate canned foods so you are eating the oldest first but I wouldn't worry about a month or 2 out of date!.
Good Luck!
