“Canned veggies for 49 to 69 cents. Usually just days past the sell-by date.”

Canned goods are ok to eat for upwords of 25 years. Frozen items keep forever. Survival food is a SCAM.

Canned food over a hundred years old was found in a shipwreck and was without bacteria.

They weren't packed and processed in China. lol.

I have had several cans 'swell' after a year or so on the shelf. Nearly all of them were products of China.

As you can see in post 65, I know about canned goods and shelf life, but I also buy survival foods.

Freeze dried foods, well canned for maximum shelf life, is a lot better than setting a can of supermarket green beans on the shelf for 25 years and counting on it.
