    can food can last far longer than the expiration date, as long as it still has seal integrity, and not bulging.

      Yeah I’d argue canning is one of the greatest technological marvels of the 20th century. I never check the expiration date of the cans in my kitchen

      Yeah, the expiry is beaurocracy in action, but okay beiroacracy, I’m fine with putting the dates. But canned goods are eternal if stored properly, and doing a quick inspection for what you mentioned is all you need when you’re scouring the wasteland for Vienna sausages in the far off time of the year 2025.
