Canned Green Beans
Similar to corn, canned green beans can last for up to two years past their “Best By” date if the cans are in good condition. Like with any older canned food, “you may notice a little difference in taste and quality” over time.
Canned Tuna
Known for its versatility and high protein content, canned tuna can last even longer—from three to five years beyond its “Best By” date. Again, proper storage is key. “Still, expect a drop in quality with extended storage.”
A Checklist for Safe Consumption
Your safety is the most important thing. Always inspect canned foods before you eat them, regardless of the date on the label.
- Check the can for any damage. “Be sure the can is free of obvious flaws like corrosion, bulging, or leaking.” A can that is leaking or bulging could contain harmful bacteria.
- After opening, “keep an eye out for any strange smells or changes in look or texture.” If anything seems off, it’s best to discard it.
- “When in doubt, put safety first and get rid of anything that raises suspicion.”
