Food longevity, actual personal experience

I can only imagine what chemicals are in that for it to be ok that far out....wow!

Sometimes it is what is taken out that improves longevity. I store dried beans, rice, peas in Mylar bags with 02 absorbers inside. I also store the same items in food grade plastic containers filled with food grade nitrogen. No oxygen environments prevent most spoilage.

Probably not as bad as the stuff they make today.

Dinty Moore beef stew in the large can. Dated 2014. Looks like it should. Smells like it should. Taste like beef stew.
