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.

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.
