Believe me, you will know if it has lost the seal. I have cleaned out storerooms with canned goods that were 20 years old and some of it was still good, not that I ate it but my MIL did!

One day my granny told gramps to go throw out the old canned goods that had been stored in the storm cellar for who knows how many years. A little while later, gramps when to get the neighbor to come “help.” Several hours later they came up from the cellar feeling pretty good. They'd found the fruit had fermented!
