Best Answer

Expiration dates are used to indicate how long foods are considered to be safe for. After that date, there is a chance that the food will have spoiled. If it has spoiled, there is a possibility of illness, such as food poisoning. If it hasn't spoiled, there won't be a problem. Some expiration dates deal with how long the flavors will last without going 'off' and tasting funny.

Is there an expiration date on canned foods and how would one read the expired date?

On most cans there is an expiration date. Usually on the bottom or top of the can, sometimes on the label itself. If you can't find it on the top, bottom or label, try peeling the label off because sometimes its hidden there. Most companies date their products with the day/month/year. For example 02JUN2012. 02 being the day, JUN being the month and 2012 being the year.
