How long does canned food last for?!
Answers:
most are forever, as long as the can isn't mishappened. THe date on the can is not an expiration date but best use by. The food in the can does change. For some it gets better, while other's not so much. There are cults who would not eat sardines until it is past the best use by date. The bones in the sardine soften over time.

is a reference in case people are horrified what I just said.
More than 2 years, check exp code on bottom or on the top. Use a proper storage for can food: temperature around 55-57 degree, store 6 inch above the floor ( golden rule). Before use, check for any bulging sign, look for presence of rust on the edge. If you see bulging and rust never use it, to avoid a serious health hazards such as botulism. When you open, transfer right away in safe glass container and keep on the refrigerator, use within a week or less.
It depends entirely upon the type of food inside the can. Some kinds will keep for a long time, but others may expire in a few weeks. The can should have an expiration date stamped on the top or bottom.
