Yes.
During the canning process, the soup is cooked at a high temperature (around 130 degrees Celsius) killing any harmful bacteria.
The can itself is coated with an inert resin which helps protect the contents from being tainted or spoiled by bacterial contamination as well as prevent the can from corrosion. The inside of the can is sterile before being filled.
The can is sealed air tight which prevents the growth/introduction of bacteria after canning (and of course keeps the soup inside).
If the canning process was done properly, the soup will last for years or even decades past the expiration date without being harmful. (I'm actually finishing off a bowl of chicken soup which expired four years ago).
However, if the can is bulging in any way, then the soup inside is not safe to eat. As bacteria grows and multiplies in the soup, it creates a by-product of CO2 gas which creates the buldge/pressure in the can. Over time, the can could burst due to the pressure.
No, it might have undergone food spoilage. In general, do not consume anything that is past the expiration date, even if it still looks fresh, because expiry dates are there for a reason. To prevent food wastage (since you probably have to discard them), check the expiry dates frequently. If you think it is printed too small on the can, use a permanent marker to write it as big as you want.
Answer:If you're talking about commercially canned food then it should be okay to eat. Commercially canned food is processed at a high enough temp that it's basically sterile, and has enough salt (sodium) in it to kill off most food-borne illnesses. The quality and texture may change over time, but it'll remain edible for as long as the container is sealed, especially if it's in a metal can.it might be okay depending on what type... :)
holy moly no way u just asked this to be stupiddd
No you cant eat canned tomato soup after expiration date.............
no because react to your chemicals in your body.
Avoid due to concerns about BPA seeping into the food from the can.

If it was store bought in the can, it should have an expiration date. If you canned it yourself, it should be good for a year or so, as long as it was properly sealed and kept in a cool, dry place.
by the expiration date, dummy
If that is canned, shelf stable soup, the date is a best-if-used-by - not an expiration. If the can is in good condition and has been stored in a cool, dry area, the soup may be OK to use. If any seams have been compromised or the ends are swollen, throw it away.
I have routinely eaten canned fruit after their expiration dates. That applies to most canned foods as well. One that doesn't last is canned milk. Toss it after it expires. Beans. canned meat, veggies, soup etc, all last much longer than expiration dates without altering taste or texture much. As long as the can is not punctured it should last much longer. One reason for expiration dates is of course safety. The other being likely, that companies want to sell their products, even if you can't keep up to eating them. So go ahead oand buy on sale eat later.
no they are not bad your okay to eat them
The exp. date is assuming they are kept frozen & is valid.
I think I would open it and look to see if looks good then smell it and maybe a small taste. Remember that canned foods can lose flavor over time. You might try calling you local extension office too.
Sales of canned soup totaled $2.6 billion in 1995
Canned tomato soup costs 98p.
Usually, canned foods have a very long shelf-life (years). If you are unsure, look for an expiration date. DO NOT EAT if the top or bottom of the can is protruding. This means it has Botulism and is unsafe to eat.
From the Campbell Soup Company site: The shelf life of unopened Campbell canned products varies from 1 to 2 years. In order to experience optimal color, flavor, aroma and texture the product should be consumed prior to the end of the month displayed on the product.
Dr. John T. Dorrance created condensed canned soup for Campbell Soup Company. These cans were invented in 1897 and sold to the public.
