Would you use....

[Damummis]

any canned product that you made from 2008? I found some hot-dog relish with a 2008 day. Is it still usable?

 

[Beekissed]

I would! We ate honey we put up more than 35 years ago...it was still beautiful and delicious. I guess it depends on what kind of food it is....if it is acidic, it may just be alright. Anything else, you will more than likely be able to visualize or smell if it is bad.

 

[TanksHill]

Yes definitely. Just like Bee said. Something that acidic would most likely be fine.

nope. a cheap can of relish isn't worth me being sick. 3 years is a tad older for me.
if you eat it, let us know if ya lived thru it

I make pepper relish every few years, and it gets better as it ages. I think the last time I made it was about 4 years ago, and it's still good.

Why would you risk a $59,000 hospital stay for a $0.59 jar of relish?

 

[Beekissed]

Because we can! *pun intended* Why light up that cig and pay all that money first to purchase it and then all the medical problems from smoking it? Because you are willing to risk the fact that it just won't happen to you.

If it still has a good seal, I'd eat it. If it was pressure canned, I'd go longer, as long as it still has a good seal.
Problem around here is, NOTHING ever lasts that long!!
