We know for a fact that canned foods have longer shelf life compared to the fresh foods that you can buy on grocery stores. However, experts said that the shelf-life of these canned foods are actually shorter than its expiration date.
Canned foods that are high in acids including juice, fruits, and tomatoes must only be in shelves for no more than 18 months. On the other hand, the canned goods storing foods that are low in acid like meat and vegetables can last for at least two years up to five years max.
However, the shelf life of the canned foods can be shorter especially if you don’t store it properly. You must place it in a dry cabinet, away from moist or heat. That is why storing canned foods above the stove is not recommended.
