Many people toss canned foods as soon as the date passes, but most dates reflect quality, not safety. “Best By” and “Best Before” simply indicate peak flavor, and even “Use By” isn’t a strict safety deadline. When stored in a cool, dry place, canned goods often last well beyond the printed date. High-acid foods keep quality for about a year, while low-acid items can last several years. As long as the can isn’t bulging, leaking, rusted, badly dented, or producing odd smells or colors, the food is usually still safe — helping reduce waste and save money.
