Best Answer

No.

More informationActually, most dates on canned goods are 'best by' dates, not actual expirations. Companies tend to be conservative on the dating of their products so that people will utilize the food while it is in prime condition. The product would not be guaranteed after that date. And so much depends upon the storage conditions.

Even unopened canned food can deteriorate in quality and nutrition.

So it will depend upon how far past the expiration date, storage conditions and the condition of the can. Using it would be up to you.

Is canned food still good after the expiration date?

There is no magic date. It will depend on the quality of the food to begin with, the quality and type of container and the subsequent handling and storage thereof. Even canned, food will degrade and change color, texture and flavor. I have used some items that were a year past the coded date. They were edible, but I could tell the difference when compared to newer product. Many canned foods are coded with 2 and even 3 year shelf lives. But for best quality and nutrition, plan to use canned goods within a year. If you are trying to maintain a cache of canned foods, use product throughout the year and replace it with fresh stock. Use the FIFO method - First In First Out. Always use the oldest items first.

Is it safe to eat canned crabmeat after the expiration date?

If you are talking about shelf stable canned crab meat, the date on the can is likely the 'best by' date and not an expiration. If the can is unopened, has been stored properly and is not swollen or damaged, it is likely safe to eat, but the palatability of the crab meat will deteriorate over time. The processor will not guarantee the product beyond the recommended 'use by' date.

Should you eat chicken after its packaging date?

That depends how long after the expiration, how it has been stored and the condition of the can. Usually, canned food has a "best by", not an "expiration". If the "expiration" is recent and the can has been stored properly and is in good condition, the contents could be safe. Whether or not to use it would be your decision.


What about spaghetti sauce pass expiration date?

The expiration date on any food item is the date after which you are supposed to throw away the product because it is no longer considered safe to eat. If it is unopened and canned and only a few days past that date, it may still be okay. Otherwise, throw it away. The expiration date will vary dependent upon when the product was made, so you should check the lid of the bottle or the bottom of the can. May also be listed as a "Best By" date.
