    My girlfriend’s family cabin has a cold storage in the basement. We found some canned stew that had expired in 1982. A friend of mine actually ate it and he didn’t get sick!

      can food can last far longer than the expiration date, as long as it still has seal integrity, and not bulging.

        Yeah I’d argue canning is one of the greatest technological marvels of the 20th century. I never check the expiration date of the cans in my kitchen

        Yeah, the expiry is beaurocracy in action, but okay beiroacracy, I’m fine with putting the dates. But canned goods are eternal if stored properly, and doing a quick inspection for what you mentioned is all you need when you’re scouring the wasteland for Vienna sausages in the far off time of the year 2025.

            Maybe that poster really meant rule of the beautiful rather than rule of the office?!

            I rely on auto correct to take care of things like that for me.
