Canned Food Shelf Life – Is It Really Safe One Day
And Then Bad The Next?
Are you getting ready to throw out that can of green beans just because it’s a week past its “best by” date?
Maybe you should.
Why chance eating something that could make you sick? If the label says it’s past its prime then IT’S EXPIRED. Right?
In normal times, that’s fine. I won’t challenge that logic. It’s hard to argue that taking the extra risk worth it if the only upside will only amount to saving a couple of dollars. I’m right there with ya.
But what about when times are not normal? Would you be so quick to toss your “expired” can of green beans if calories were as scarce as water in a desert?
After SHTF, those “best by” date guidelines won’t matter. Trust me, extreme hunger will blur those lines.
What if that can of “past its prime” green beans was the only food you came across for 3 days. What if that same can of green beans meant food for your starving family?
You’ll still toss that green bean can in the trash, but it will be entirely empty of all its delicious contents. You will eat it and it will taste amazing.
And what about the chance of getting sick? There’s still that risk, but depending upon several factors, that risk is way overstated.
So today I’m going to cover the following topics in detail, specifically:
Note: Feel free to skip ahead to the sections you are most interested in using the navigation links above.
The simple answer is NO. How can they be?
There are too many variables outside of a food manufacturer’s control to come up with a reliable expiration date science.
The 2 main variables that affect canned food’s storage shelf life are:
Extremely high temperatures will compromise most foods. Unless you are turning grapes into raisins or actually cooking your food for consumption, you don’t want to store canned goods in high-heat environments.
What’s worse is large temperature variations. Food left in high temperatures, then low temperatures, and then back to high temperatures, its shelf life will be compromised.
Unheated, uninsulated garages or attics = terrible storage locations.
The second variable to watch out for is can damage. If a can was dropped, crushed, or dented in any way then the integrity of the can comes into question. Damaged cans may have seal issues.
If a can is damaged then the odds go up significantly of air penetrating the can. Organic matter (food) exposed to air will tend to mold. Moldy food is bad and can make you sick.
Of these two variables, the food manufacturer can only really control the second one. And only before it ships. Once it’s shipped from the canning factory, they no longer control this variable either.
For instance:
These are variables that food manufacturers have no way to control.
So if you were in the same shoes as the food manufacturer and you’d be held responsible (i.e. sued) for someone getting sick on your food after the “best by” date, would you choose a conservative or liberal label date?
Would you err on the side of a shorter date? Or would you err on the side of a longer one?
Yeah, exactly, you would err heavily on the side of a shorter date. The shorter the better.
Plus, by erring on the side of a shorter date the food manufacturers are helping to sell more.
That’s the definition of a Win/Win (for them).
How’s that? If people follow their “expiration” dates and those dates are short (a couple of years) then people will either:
1. Consume the product faster
OR
2. Toss out the old stuff and buy new
Either way, it will equal more sales of their product.
Let’s imagine someone purchases their canned food product and the label said it was good for 20 years. A lot of people would let that sit on their shelves for a very long time. If enough people did that, then the food manufacturers are hurting their repeat sales volumes.
Another clue that canned food shelf life dates are arbitrary suggestions is that they now don’t even say “Expiration Date”.
Nowadays the majority of canned food stamps have “Best By” or “Best If Used By” labels on them.
This is a dead giveaway of the canned food expiration date hoax.
Of course, fresher food is always better. No one is arguing that fact. However, not being “best” and not being consumable are miles apart.
Did you know that the excavation of canned goods over 100 years old, proved to be completely safe to eat?
In 1865, a steamboat loaded with canned provisions left port for the mining camps in Montana. Unfortunately, it had too many provisions and the weight of the vessel caused it to sink early on in its journey.
It sat at the bottom of the Missouri River for nearly a century. Among the provisions were cans of plum tomatoes, mixed vegetables, peaches, oysters, and honey.
In 1974, several scientists at the NFPA checked the content of the cans. They found that the products still had significant nutritional value and zero microbial growth.
In fact, the chemists found that these canned goods were just as safe to eat in 1974 as they were to eat 100 years earlier.
OK so now you know expiration dates are essentially meaningless when it comes to canned food. Does that mean canned food can never go bad? No…they definitely can.
You must learn how to tell the difference between canned foods that are safe to consume and those that are not.
If you’re stockpiling food for SHTF, then it is important to know which canned foods give you the most bang for your buck.
If you are going to invest in canned goods then it is best to check the “best by” dates when purchasing. As you might with a loaf of bread or gallon of milk.
Choose the cans from the back of the grocery store shelves that have the very furthest out “best by” dates.
This doesn’t mean that you have to discard them the day they expire. It’s just selecting the newest and freshest produce available at that time of purchase.
In the canned food category, canned meat tends to last the longest. Meats such as beef stew, Spam, tuna fish, etc. tend to have quite long shelf lives.
For example, these All-Natural Mixed Canned Meats By Survival Fresh have a 25-year shelf-life!
If you want to stock high-quality canned meat for your emergency supplies with a single order – look no further than these deals from Survival Fresh!
First off, these canned meats are delicious.
Just check out some of these reviews – they speak for themselves. Preppers, campers, and meat lovers have rated them the “best survival food” time and time again.
The bottom line is: This ain’t your father’s can of Spam!
Not only does it taste great but Survival Fresh meats have an ultra-long shelf-life of 25 years! This gives you the confidence to buy in bulk and store them away in your survival pantry.
But how does Survival Fresh Canned Meat last so much longer than any you’d pick up at the grocery store?
Survival Fresh Canned Meat
The Survival Fresh Meat is first sealed uncooked into the cans, then its sealed and slow-pressure cooked. This provides a much longer shelf life.
Grocery store cans of meat are lucky to have an 18-month expiration date. And they’re often loaded with fillers, preservatives, and growth hormones.
Only with Survival Fresh Meats can you enjoy all-natural healthy protein with a shelf life of 25 years.
But remember canned food shelf life has as much to do with how you store it, as with which foods you choose to buy.
For example, you can significantly increase the canned food shelf life of soup or canned bread by storing it correctly.
To prolong your canned food shelf life, focus on good canned food storage techniques. Keeping any food fresh past its typical shelf life depends on the conditions in which you keep these emergency food items stored.
Sure, many people say there is no issue buying cans with dents. This is true if consumed quickly but if you’re stockpiling food goods, a dented can is a liability.
Don’t settle for cans or jars lids that have even minor damage. Cans with damage will lead to premature bacterial growth over time. This is often more important than the expiration dates label.
You want to control the humidity in your storage environment.
Dry foods can pick up moisture that can lead to mold and bacterial growth. Moisture can also lead to the breakdown of packaging containers, such as aluminum or tin cans.
As these containers oxidize and rust, they can affect the canned food shelf life.
Shoot for temperatures ranging from about 40 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
A study conducted by Brigham Young on wheat over the long term showed that wheat kept in cool storage, such as a basement, would be edible for years.
Wheat stored in a hot environment such as an attic would only be acceptable for consumption for five years.
On the flip side, canned food shelf life can be significantly decreased if items become frozen even if just for a short period.
While you may enjoy laying in the sun and baking, your canned goods won’t take very kindly to this process. The heat from direct sunlight will speed up the deterioration of the cans and the contents as well.

Canned food expiration dates don’t mean you have to throw the food out. Yet they can serve as a guideline to help you rotate your usage of these products.
They can also serve to let you know which products last longer than others. Using them simply as a reference can be helpful, as long as they are not taken too seriously.
You will not die if your green beans are a month or even a year past their expiration date if you are storing your canned goods properly to ensure that these foods last as long as possible.
But how do you know if the canned goods on your shelf are still safe to consume years past the expiration date?
There are some tell-tale signs if the shelf life of your canned food has truly passed.
The following are some signs that the food in those cans may become contaminated.
Look at the cans themselves. Do they have dents or rust, or are they bulging?
These are signs that the food items contained in them have become compromised.
Also, the shelf life of canned food can be compromised in jars that have signs of corrosion on the lid and liquid seeping under the lid of the jar.
You should discard jars with this appearance.
A bad smell is a helpful indicator of rotten food. So if you’re uncertain about the shelf life of canned soup, for instance, simply open it up and take a big whiff.
A bad odor will serve as a good indicator and will let you know in most cases if the contents of the can are bad.
Discoloration. Although by itself this might not be anything to fear, with any other signs of contamination present, it’s best to discard this food.
Don’t consume eggs that float in water.
Also, any can or jar that spurts liquid upon opening is a good sign that the food is bad.
Mold is another indicator that the food has spoiled.
It is important to realize that the dates on canned goods simply don’t matter.
What really matters is what is in the can. If you store canned goods in ideal conditions and take good care of them, they can live well past the expiration on the can.
So when you ask yourself, “what is the shelf life of canned food?”
Keep in mind that the food is fine to eat for years to come. Using some basic common sense tips can go a long way in helping to feed your family through tough times.
If you have concerns about the quality of the contents of a can of food you are about to consume then err on the side of caution.
It’s better to be safe than sorry.
But don’t hesitate to use your five senses to assess the shelf life of canned food. This is a better way to tell if canned foods are still safe to eat than any arbitrary date printed on the packaging.

We are getting dangerously close to a point of no return. For months, both sides have been continuously escalating the war in Ukraine, and now it appears that we are on the verge of the biggest escalation of them all. As I have been repeatedly warning my readers for weeks, the Russians have been gathering hundreds of thousands of fresh troops for a massive winter offensive. The exhausted Ukrainian forces are already stretched incredibly thin, and the losses that they have been suffering over the past couple of months have been nothing short of catastrophic. If the Russians decide to bring the hammer down, the Ukrainians will be in very serious trouble.
Of course this is completely contrary to the propaganda that we have been fed for months. We have been told over and over again that “the Ukrainians are winning”, but that was just a bunch of nonsense.
Now reality is setting in, and the Ukrainians are openly warning that “Russia is preparing for maximum escalation”…
Russia is preparing to launch a major new offensive against Ukraine in the coming weeks, a top Ukrainian security official said, adding to mounting concerns in Kyiv and the West that the Kremlin is preparing a renewed push to seize large areas of the country.
“Russia is preparing for maximum escalation,” said Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, in an interview with Sky News published online early Wednesday local time. “It is gathering everything possible, doing drills and training.”
Yes, if the Russians send hundreds of thousands of fresh troops pouring into Ukraine, it will definitely be considered an enormous escalation of the conflict.
Another Ukrainian official is claiming that the Russians have gathered a total of 500,000 troops for the coming offensive…
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told French media on Wednesday that Russia had 500,000 troops ready for an attack to come in weeks. That number is far higher than the 300,000 newly enlisted soldiers Russian President Vladimir Putin called up this past autumn.
“Officially, they announced 300,000, but when we see the troops at the borders, according to our assessments it is much more,” Reznikov said.
If that number is accurate, this Russian force is much, much larger than the force that originally invaded Ukraine.
In other words, it looks like the Russians have decided that it is time to stop messing around.
According to Reznikov, the Ukrainians are anticipating that the Russians will attack from the east and the south…
He said Russia was likely to ‘try an offensive on two fronts’: In the country’s east, which has been at the centre of brutal fighting in recent months, and in the south.
That assessment may indeed turn out to be accurate.
But I think that the best move for the Russians would be to bring down a hammer blow from the north.
In any event, once the Russians commit hundreds of thousands of new troops to the war, there will inevitably be a response by the western powers.
So what will that be?
Well, former UK Defense Minister Sir Gerald Howarth says that it may become necessary to send NATO troops into Ukraine.

Of course if that happens we will have NATO troops and Russian troops directly firing at one another.
And once we get to that stage we are just a hop, skip and a jump away from nuclear war.
The Russians understand this very well, and Russian President Vladimir Putin just threatened us with nuclear weapons once again…
“Those who draw European countries, including Germany, into a new war with Russia, and … expect to win a victory over Russia on the battlefield, apparently don’t understand that a modern war with Russia will be quite different for them,” he added.
“We don’t send our tanks to their borders but we have the means to respond, and it won’t end with the use of armoured vehicles, everyone must understand that.”
Putin makes vague nuclear threats over western tank supplies to Ukraine.

Here in the western world, the “experts” keep assuring us that the risk of nuclear war is very low.
But on Russian television, nuclear war has become a central theme.
In fact, just the other day a video that simulated a Poseidon doomsday weapon being used against the UK was broadcast to a nationwide audience…
Russian state TV have broadcast a mock video of the UK being obliterated by a tsunami set off by a nuclear missile sent from Moscow.
The sick footage shows a Russian state anchor revelling as the missile plummets into to the North Atlantic Ocean, sparking a giant tidal wave that engulfs both Ireland and the UK.
We need to try to find a peaceful way out of this mess while we still can.
Because once the first nuke is used, there will be no going back.
Meanwhile, we just continue to get even closer to a war with China…
Just days after a top U.S. military official warned that the United States should be prepared for a war with China over Taiwan in 2025, Beijing on Wednesday conducted the largest incursion of Taiwanese airspace in weeks.
Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense reported that 34 Chinese military aircraft, along with nine naval vessels, were detected near the self-governing island at around 3 a.m. local time.
And the North Koreans are warning that recent actions by the U.S. have pushed matters on the Korean peninsula to an “extreme red line”.
North Korea threatened to respond to any military moves by the U.S. with ‘the most overwhelming nuclear force’ if necessary, saying that military drills by Washington and its allies have pushed the situation in the Korean peninsula to an ‘extreme red-line’ https://t.co/PfWOXeJY3J pic.twitter.com/uXflrsyLK1

On top of everything else, we have reached a point where a full-blown war between Israel and Iran could literally start at any moment.
When the missiles start flying, the elite will run off to their doomsday bunkers.
Where will you go?
You might want to start thinking about that.
As I discuss in my latest book, if you live anywhere near a nuclear missile silo or a military base, I would highly suggest relocating.
Leaders all over the globe seem to be catching “war fever”, and eventually somebody is going to push things too far.
We truly are on a collision course with destiny, and right now those that are running things have absolutely no intention of changing direction.

Today, I’m going to give you the definite answer you’ve been looking for on: “How much food you should be stockpiling?”
I’ve been helping people prepare since 2013, and one of the biggest questions I get asked is,
How Much Food Should I Be Stockpiling…
So, let’s roll up our sleeves and figure this out once and for all!
Whenever I get the question, “how much emergency food should I have”? I immediately follow up with a question of my own.
To get the total number of days your stockpile will last, you need to take the:
Total calories in your stockpile ÷ Calories your family needs per day
Let’s start with the top half of the equation.
Ideally, your pantry is well organized, making the process much faster. But if it’s not…perhaps this will allow you to do so…?!?
Because you’re about to take inventory. Yup. Just like ALL successful retail businesses do regularly.
Now you may ask, “Should I count EVERYTHING” on my shelves? If it’s shelf stable and you replace it regularly, then YES, count it.
Sure, some items will fluctuate as you use them up and then buy more. But a snapshot of the shelf-stable calories in your pantry is “close enough” …
Obviously count all freeze-dried foods, MREs, canned meats, and #10 Cans.
Also, don’t count ANY calories in your refrigerator or freezer.
The only exception is if you have a robust backup energy plan or you are already living off the grid.
A robust backup energy plan means having a Power station (or a generator with a few weeks of fuel). Otherwise, I DON’T count your refrigerated and frozen goods.
I used a simple spreadsheet for this to help make the calculations easy. Plus, I can sort and filter as needed later with a spreadsheet.
Start by making a few columns titled:
Once you fill out an entire row with that info, multiply the “number of items” by the “servings per container” by the “calories per serving.”
Note: watch the video above if you need help with this.
This will give you the number of calories you have in your inventory for THAT specific food item.
Now, you need to be careful here. I added the Brand to the first column because not ALL brands use the same servings/calorie info.
For example, separate Brands of canned beans may seem identical but often are not. The difference can add up, especially if you have a lot of green beans…
Now, IF the foods are the same, AND the info per serving is the same, you can put them in the same line. Otherwise, if any of those numbers are different, add a new line item.
Now keep going and inventory everything that makes sense for you. Once done, you should add up all the calories.
And now you know exactly how much non-perishable food you currently have.
This calorie number may seem massive if you’ve got a decent-sized stockpile.
Perhaps even a few hundred thousand calories, like 358,753 or something like that.
WOW. Massive, right? Not so fast…
Having your total calories may seem like an important number to know, but it’s not all that helpful…yet.
Why? Because it’s relative to the size of your family, right?
For example, 358,753 calories is a stellar emergency food stockpile for a retired couple of 2. But what about a growing family of 5? Not so much.
That’s why we need to figure out how many calories YOUR family consumes each day…
At first, this may seem like a difficult task, but with the proper tools, it’s easy.
You must figure out how many replacement calories each family member needs daily.
You need to consider ALL 3 of these variables to make an educated guess. The good news is I created a simple chart to do just THAT.
You can use this chart to determine your sex, age, and activity level for each family member. Then add up each number.
The TOTAL is how many calories you’re family needs per day.
Now, THIS is a very good number to know!
This is the number you need to figure out how long your food stockpile will last.
Take your total calories and divide by your family’s daily calorie requirement.
Viola! THAT new number is a very good approximation of How Long Your Current Food Stockpile Will Last.
Perhaps your number is 58.63 days?
That means you’re very close to having 2 months’ worth of food in your emergency stockpile.
Now, of course, you may be able to ration those calories a bit in a longer-term emergency. But I don’t recommend “rationing” your calculation.
Why? Because I’d rather underestimate the duration of my stockpile by a few days and NOT the other way around. Said another way, I’d rather be pleasantly surprised…
You now know how long you have before starvation begins after the grocery store shelves go bare.
We can now finally circle back around to the original question:
Ok, are you ready for YOUR answer? Do you have a pen and paper ready?
A minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 1 year…
I can hear you booing at me already…You were probably hoping for something a bit more specific, weren’t you…
Like most things, everyone’s situation, risk tolerance, and resources vary.
I can hardly give a more specific answer for everyone.
But I CAN do better than THAT.
So let’s break things down into a few different categories. Only then can we zero in on something more meaningful.
Here are a few “how much emergency food should I stockpile” categories:
Some folks are mainly concerned with short-term natural disasters.
They don’t accept that the world is becoming less stable and more uncertain by the day. They deny the risk of major societal upheavals is rising.
That’s NOT me, but hey, perhaps that’s you.
Well, in this case, you need to get 2 weeks’ worth of survival food in place. That’s the bare minimum, in my opinion. Any less, and you’re not living up to your primary adult responsibilities.
I recommend 2 weeks as the first target for 2 reasons:
Sure, some folks will scoff at only 2 weeks of emergency food. But it’s actually a solid start, good for MOST likely emergencies we’ll all encounter year in and year out.
And it’s way more resilient than MOST people…
53% of Americans admit to having less than 3 days’ worth of nonperishable food and water.
That’s gross negligence!
Sorry but if you have only 2 or 3 days of emergency food, you’re completely fragile. You’re dependent on handouts in a crisis. This is unacceptable and irresponsible.
So, get 2 weeks, and then I’ll stop the name-calling…
And perhaps I can encourage you to shoot for a month. A month is so much more resilient than 2 weeks.
At a month’s worth, you’ll be able to ride out 99.9% of natural disasters. And you’ll also have a bit of extra resiliency to civil unrest, chaos, famines, etc.
Ok, this category is for those who don’t feel like 1 month is enough but also think a SHTF-type event way worse than the recent pandemic is zero…
I mean, the more widespread and the longer the emergency crisis, the LESS likely it is to occur, right? It’s simple statistics.
Yet, I believe there’s a greater than zero chance we do have a SHTF event in our lifetimes.
Why? Because the world is getting more vulnerable as:
So, what’s “reasonable” for someone who sits between the two extremes? I recommend somewhere between 3 and 6 months.
That solid supply of calories will keep you fed for ALL but the most unlikely doomsday events.
Well, here we are…the resilient few. Those of us who think there’s a non-zero chance of life as we know it coming to an end in our lifetimes.
We tend to see our emergency food stockpiles as cheap self-insurance. A policy you own that lasts up to 25 or 30 years if done right.
So why not go big and sleep really well at night, even as the world continues to crumble?
To enter this realm, you’ll be targeting at least 1’ year’s worth of emergency food…
Now perhaps we’re NOT there yet, but that’s ok; 1 year is an excellent goal. You can do more if you’d like, heck, 2 years if you’re really dedicated.
But after you hit 1 year, your time and energy are better spent elsewhere. At that point, I recommend focusing on skills to bring more calories into your storerooms.
I’m talking about:
These more advanced prepping techniques. Why? Because they not only give you a runway should grocery stores go bare. They extend your calorie runway into the future.
If all you do is stockpile (without adding any new calories), then your time to starvation is on a countdown clock.
You keep adding calories back into your stockpiles. This helps to extend that time to starvation even longer into the future.
If you ever get to more calories in than out, you’ll never starve, right?
Everyone reading this needs to build a stockpile that will last at least 2 weeks. no excuses!
Once you get there, I recommend you keep building for up to 1 month. And if you want even more protection, try to get to the 3 – 6 months window.
Or perhaps you want lots of food security. A nice long runway to give you ample time to let the post-modern world sort itself out – then go with 1 year.
After that, move to advanced skills such as farming, raising animals, aquaponics, etc.
