Easy Guide to Canned Food Safety: Expiration Tips for Seniors

Canned Food Safety Made Simple for Seniors
Walk down any grocery aisle, and you’ll see rows of canned goods, each stamped with a date. It can be confusing. Many seniors ask: “Is this corn still safe? Should I throw out these green beans? Can I trust this tuna?”

Don’t worry. Expiration dates are not always strict indicators of safety. Knowing the difference between “Best By” and expiration dates can help seniors save money, reduce waste, and enjoy safe, nutritious meals long after the printed date.

Understanding “Best By” vs. Expiration Dates
A “Best By” date signals when a product tastes its freshest and has the best texture. It is not a safety deadline. Most canned foods remain safe for months—or even years—after this date, as long as the can is intact.
