Canned food generally is edible long after its expiration date (see the other answers) however it is often not as good. The food breaks down over time even without bacteria. I had a can of cranberry sauce I got when my grandmother died that was, by the time I opened it, about three years past its expiration date. It was a bit browner and more solid than it should have been and I did not eat it. It smelled fine, but the texture and color were all off.

You're reading How long do canned foods still stay good after the expiration date? Someone told me they never really go bad. Is this true?
