Most people get this wrong and toss out the can. The right way to read 'Best By' or 'Best Before' dates

One dietary item that is both adaptable and rich in protein is canned tuna. Cans of tuna have a long shelf life beyond their "best by" date as long as they are stored properly. You may usually eat canned tuna for three to five years after the "best by" date.

But remember that canned tuna might lose some of its quality with time. Before utilizing the can, make sure it is free of damage or degradation. While opening the can, keep an eye out for any changes in smell, texture, or appearance. Do not eat tuna if it has an odd scent, a strange texture, or an unsettling appearance.

Here are some storing methods to make sure your canned foods last as long as possible:

Store canned products in a dry, cool spot out of the reach of children and pets and away from severe heat or cold.

To keep the seals intact, store the cans upright.

Put your most recent canned goods toward the back of the pantry and work your way forward with the oldest.

Cans' seal and safety are at risk if they are dented or otherwise damaged.

You might want to think about putting any extra canned food in a sealed container and storing it in the fridge for a few days.

Ending Remarks

All things considered, the "best by" dates on food cans are more of recommendations for when the item will be at its greatest quality than hard expiry dates. Assuming they are stored properly and don't exhibit any indications of damage or spoiling, canned corn, green beans, and tuna may often be used safely for a considerable amount of time beyond their "best by" dates. If you see any canned food that smells funny, looks weird, or seems spoiled, make your best judgment and throw it out. To get the most out of your canned foods and cut down on food waste, store them correctly and check them often.
