How long will canned tomatoes keep?

Answer 1

Home canned goods can be safely kept until the lid starts to rust or the seal is broken, but really should be used before the next harvest. Commercially canned stuff usually carries a best-by date. I wouldn't use it much past 6 months later.

Answer 2

Canned tomatoes have a long shelf life. The 'use by' date printed on the label is a good indication of the freshness of the canned tomatoes. Bent and dented cans should not be used. Canned food is good for 2 to 3-years after the 'use by' date printed on the label. The food quality may deteriorate over this time, but it is still safe to eat.

Answer 3

This food can keep for a long time if kept in the can unopened. Canned food can keep for years. If opened, store in an air tight container. Store for a short time in refrigerator, a few days.

Answer 4

There is a long-standing general rule that home canned vegetables and fruits should be used within one year of canning.
