TexasTransplant :" Dollar General and Dollar Tree have really crap canned goods, the off brands do not last and may be dangerous/deadly to consume."

Buy canned goods only from supermarket 'Store brands', and only long term store those cans that are NOT "EASY PULL TAB".
Easy pull tab have a plastic layer under the lid which can give way over time, and allow bacteria to enter; generally, they are safe for slightly more than 6 months storage.

Cans that contain acidic (tomato , picked foods and veggies, etc.)foods will taste 'tinney' after a few months to 2 years in storage. Rotate them out frequently.

Also a Dented Can may be compromised on the inside and not last very long at all (acidics)

That’s interesting about the easy pulltabs. And makes sense that they wouldn’t be as secure as a solid lid. Thanks for the information.
