Is it safe to eat expired tuna canned food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In most cases no. Canned food usually has a shelf life of 2 years and it's best to dispose of such foodstuffs. Also beware of any damaged cans or ones that have a bulge in them. These are certain signs of contamination and should be disposed of quickly and without question.

When manufacturers produce a product they put an expiration date on it. This does not mean the food is not good after that date because there is a large safety factor added to the expiry date so the food is still good. The message on the container usually says something like "Best if used before 2/2/2009". Although the food is still good, the longer it stays on the shelf the more likely the flavor and taste will diminish. As the post above indicates, if there is visible damage to the can such as bulging it is probably contaminated with a gas generating microorganism and should be discarded without opening.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Up to 50 years:

for Flours and Other Products: Made From Cracked/ground Seed

All Purpose Flour, Bakers Flour, Unbleached Flour, White Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Cornmeal, Mixes, Refried Beans, Cracked wheat, Germade, Gluten, Wheat flakes

After seeds are broken open their outer shells can no longer protect the seed contents and seed nutrients start to degrade. Don't try to store unprotected flours longer than a year. Hermetically sealed in the absence of oxygen, plan on a storage life of 5 years at a stable temperature of 70 degrees F. They could remain usable for up to 50 years if stored below freezing depending on 4 factors: a. Constant temperature b. Product moisture content c. Atmosphere of the storage area d. Container holding the product.

Can you eat instand pudding past it's best before date?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it is not far past the date, and it has been properly stored, in all likelihood it is safe. Just take a sniff, and then a small taste. If it is off at all, throw it out. It should not have any tartness or sour taste. Really, pudding is so cheap, you could always be on the safe side and just go buy some fresh.

If properly produced and stored, dry milk could last for up to one year or even longer.

What is the characteristics of spoilt food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, spoiled food will have a noticable (bad) odor, or have some miscoloring from mold or other bacterial growth. Spoiled meat, for example, often turns greyish in color. Spoiled or stale bread and other grain products will grow mold, as will many dairy products like cheese. If you have doubts, don't eat it. Spoiled food can cause some real problems in human digestive systems.
