“Best by” labels on canned products, like corn, green beans, and tuna, indicate when the food is at its peak quality, not an expiration date.
These foods can often be safely consumed well past the labeled date if stored properly.
Canned Corn and Green Beans: Canned corn and green beans can last 1-2 years beyond the “best by” date when stored in a cool, dry place. However, expect “gradual quality and flavor changes” over time.
Canned Tuna: Canned tuna, known for its versatility, remains safe for 3-5 years past the “best by” date with proper storage.
