Mar 28 08:28:54 <sixwheeledbeast> Canned food lasts until the can is dented or rusty. Dates are generally not a concern
Mar 28 09:28:17 <bencoh> hence "best before"
Mar 28 11:48:00 <sixwheeledbeast> Best before can be on perishable non canned stuff too. The way cans are produced means nothing can get in to damage the contains hence dents and rust. I once had a 12y past BBE can of sweet milk was fine.
Mar 28 11:49:03 <sixwheeledbeast> Dented cans should be used ASAP to avoid rust forming inside the can.
