Survival Food Review: Expired Can Food - Part 5: Turnip Greens & Ham!



Bottom line: The greens looked like they should and tasted like unseasoned greens out of a can. The ham looked, smelled and tasted like can ham. After cooking in bacon grease they tasted even better!

How long do you think Dinty Moore will be good? I have a few older cans.

All depends on the storage conditions and the condition of the can. Stored in your house at room temps and no dents or rust I would expect up to 10 years. But there are no guarantees just my opinion based on my experience.

I would rather have a 10 year old can of ham, than a "25-year" freeze dried package of pasta alfredo.
It is nice to know it should be good for years after the 4 or 5 year shelf life on the can.

But IMO, some of that freeze dried stuff can be a good back up or addition to the canned meats, etc.
I do like Southwest Beans & Rice . . .

If the cans not a swelling, I’ll be a gobbling.

Well, he didn't actually eat any of the 3 main parts. LOL
This video reminds me of 3 rules to look for, and throw the food away:
1) Bulges in the can, inflated bag
2) Leaking contents or significant rust on the outside. (any on the inside)
3) Foul smell (rancid nuts or oil).
