If your dry dog food doesn't have a 'sell by' date then it is packed with preservatives. (NOT GOOD!) I'm not sure about canned food, but I know that it usually lasts for awhile.
Canned or Dried.
do they not have? i dont think they had many meat's because they had to be canned and dried. leaving no nutritional value for the soldires on the front lines. thats why they used powderd milk, canned cheese and canned bread. so that they could not be contaminated by dirt. hope that answered our Q'!
Only canned, vacuum-packed or dried foodstuffs.
Canned goods, dried foods like dried beans, dried fish. But if you keep in a refregirator, the food will be ok for a period of time especially frozen foods.
You need to bring rice, canned or dried fruit, and meat.
Dried foods and some canned foods will last for years with proper storage.
Dried, smoked, salted, pickled, sulfured, frozen, refrigerated, canned, freeze dried, irradiated and sugared (think jam and jelly)
Production Date
They grew their own gardens. They stored food in root cellars and a ice house if they had one. Dried or canned the pork.
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.
Fresh, frozen, salted, smoked, canned, dried, cooked, chilled, preserves, pickled, etc.
No there not really a diffrerence; Just check the date!
