Mountain house is great,but VERY costly.

If you want long term storage Honeville is great.The best customer service ever,5 dollar shipping on any size order,and great products. [link to honeyvillegrain.com]

Still honeyville cost more than what you can pick up at places like Sam's club or Gordons food service.Most would probably be shocked at the prices on number 10 cans of food.5lbs of green beans $3.00 ect....

99% of all canned goods have shelf lives of decades not years.The FDA has two separate expatriation date systems because of this.The EXPIRATION date is on items that would not be fit to eat after that period of time,and then there is the BEST BY date which is when it will TASTE best before that date.

You can easily eat a can of food that is 10 years past the BEST BY date and it will be perfectly fine.As long as the can is not damaged and there is no loss of interior contents such as water.If you open a can and the food is discolored or all the moisture is gone obviously do not eat it(same for swelled cans or leaking cans).

If it is past the EXPIRATION date on the can do not eat it.In canned goods this normally only applies to meats and products that contain meat.


Hope this helps.
