I don’t buy all of the stuff here, either. In fact, I think they may have underestimated the shelf life of some of these goods. For one thing, I believe that honey can be quite edible and tasty for a lot longer than one year.

Honey doesn’t have an expiration date.

And if it turns sugary, simply warm it.

Someone found a jar of honey in a King Tut's tomb, it was 3000 years old, and still good.

Just remember the rules of food storage, avoid oxygen, moisture and light.

Properly stored food can last for decades.

Same here. Canned goods have a much longer shelf life. Dried beans a looong time, too. Even white rice, stored in the freezer, lasts quite some time. I don’t worry about most canned goods until after 3 years. Didn’t they find canned goods on some Civil War ship and they were just fine? Honey found in pyramids was dried up but just fine, too.

About a month ago I opened a qt. I had from the 1990s, it tastes fine.
