If your pantry is filled with canned goods but you are not sure if some are good even though they have an expiration date stamped on them here’s a few guidelines. If stored properly, the shelf-life of high acidity canned goods like tomatoes, pineapples, and other fruits are still good one year past the expiration date. Low-acidity meats and vegetables can have a shelf-life of 2-5 years after the expiration date! How do you know? Toss if rusted, cracked, leaking, or bulging because that is signs that bacteria is present. So hold onto your canned goods longer than you thought!
