Can of cream of mushroom soup

[episodic]

can says it expires on august of 2006 - still safe to eat?

 

[Leros]

Just go buy another can. Its cheap and not worth the risk.

 

[bolomite]

um, it's almost 2009 now. what part of 'expiration date' is unclear?

 

[Baked]

Canned food don't expire.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Dunno. I have no problem eating recently expired food, but 2.33 years? Seems risky.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Pop the 50 cents on a brand new can.

 

[episodic]

You can totally get botchulism from that.

If he was going to get botulism from a canned good it doesn't have to be expired.

OP, is the can bulging, rusted, or have any other outward sign of a problem? If it didn't have any of those warning signs, I'd use it as long as it didn't smell funky after opening. Then again, I'm not one of the many paranoid types around here.

Eat it. There's so much sodium and preservatives in that it'll be edible after the bombs fall.

When in doubt, always trust your nose. I'd eat it as long as it didn't smell funky.

Botulism from canned food is rare.

This article has a copyright date of 2008 and I'll call your attention to:

The FDA warned consumers to throw away 10-ounce cans of Castleberry?s, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with ?best by? dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009.

If it's contaminated with botulism, expiration date does not matter.

First pop into the time machine and go back to when it cost 50 cents.

ATOT is so neurotic when it comes to expiration dates. :laugh:

It's fine.

It will be painfully obvious when a canned food item is bad.

Okay, setting the dial for 5 minutes ago. You can find condensed soup for 50 cents a can and even 3 for a dollar. They're called sales.

If it smells ok eat it. I had a sandwich with mayo on it awhile ago that i noticed was a year old after i ate it, didn't get sick.

 

[JulesMaximus]

If the maggots are dead I wouldn't eat it.
