Don’t throw out “expired” canned goods. If the cans are still sealed, they’ll be fine. They’ve found canned foods last far longer than the sell by dates with a little degradation in taste. Rotating is the thing to do but if they are in a cooler dryer place they can last decades.

A few years back, I opened a large can of vegetable beef soup. Campbells type.

It wasn’t bulging, it smelled totally normal, and the only difference I noted was that it seemed to have lost some of the water - it wasn’t “full”.

Cooked it, ate it, I’m still here.

It was between 6 and 7 yrs old.
