how long are canned goods good
Angela Fraser of North Carolina State recommends a year, to a year and a half, for home canned salsa: If canned and stored properly, its shelf life is about 12 to 18 months. Salsa older than this is safe to eat if the jar is in good condition and the seal is intact. Its quality, however, may be poor.â.
I have eaten dry mixes that were 12 years past the expiration date, canned food that was 6 years past and kept eggs for 6 months without refrigeration. Handled and stored properly they say eggs will last over a year entirely without refrigeration. I have encountered canned food that was bad.
