Please do post the list. I never understood how long canned food will last.. If I were to buy more than 6 cases of vegies for example..how often should they be rotated? Or how long will 6 cases last?

You can call the company you bought the canned veggies from, they will be able to decipher the date code, and you can figure out the expiration date on the items. I posted the list right after 9/11, I'm going to ping everyone to it. The trick is to store what you and your family will eat.

I shipped dozens of cases of canned food on a hardship tour a few years ago. They were perfectly good two years later.

A lot of it is going to depend on what's in the can and how acidic it is. I know from unfortunate experience that sauerkraut eats through cans in about a year, only jarred sauerkraut in my house now.
