Canned foods that have the longest storage shelf life

Does anyone know what kind of canned foods have the longest storage shelf life? I do not want to pay 2 grand for efoods direct. There has to be a cheaper solution. Hormel chilli lasts 3 years, but im looking for something along the lines of 10 years so I can buy 1000 cans every 10 years. Plz help.

CANNED STAG CHILL IS ABSOLUTELY RANK. ITS SHIT IN A CA.N I'D RATHER EAT A TURD

Also--oils get rancid quickly, except coconut oil.

Spam. I remember reading, not that long ago, that somebody (US Army I think) finaly got rid of the last cans from the SPAM stockpile left over from WWII. The shit lasts 40 or 50 years if you don't crack the seal.

According to Hormel, it has an indefinite shelf life if it remains sealed and is stored properly.

The only canned goods that actually go bad are citrus and tomatoes.

As long as a can is not rusty or severely dented, the food is good for as long as you will need it. The nutritional value decreases over time, but the food is still edible.

Best thing to do: Learn to grow, raise, or find your own food and how to can it.

Why? Because you know perfectly well that something big is coming, the big secret (Planet X) and when the food deliveries stop, when the supermarket shelves are bare, you will wish you had listened and moved to a rural location and started farming.

Not everyone can move, most cannot (tied to those jobs, those lucky enough to have one), but you can STILL grow food in a window, practice canning fresh vegetables you purchase, and gather the seeds, equipment, and tools you will need to feed yourselves.

How about this for a novel idea? Don't ask your governments for anything. Rely on yourselves only.

Your survival in the Aftertimes, post pole shift, will be a slap in the face of the power and wealthy elites who have been preparing for decades without telling YOU what they found with taxpayer dollars.

Yep: They found Planet X/Nibiru in 1983 and NASA (I think) will announce the reality of Planet X before November. Get ready.

Longest lasting canned goods:
Pink salmon(longest lasting)
canned hams
corned beef hash
spam
Vienna sausages
sardines
red salmon
crab meat
tuna

Not a canned good, but honey will last forever.

Its half-life is probably about the same as that of nuclear waste.

Expiration dates on tinned (metal canned) foods is about 2 years on average. However if kept in a cool, dry and dark place they can last on average 6 years with a regular tin lasting a decade with the food inside still good.

The real problem is that they spray a coating of plastic insides of tinned food. That degrades over time and leeches toxins into the food.

The best method of persevering canned food is to can it yourself in jars. Pressure steamed jars will last decades without plastic from the lid leeching into the foods. The lids have a plastic liner on the inside along with a rubberized seal around the rim. As long as the food isn't touching those, the food is safe.

You also can tell readily if their is spoilage in the jar, the lids have a button that pops up after the vacuum seal is broken. Since rot/decay releases gasses, the pressure inside the jar goes up and causes the button to pop-up.

While food is edible for a decade, the real problem is that vitamins, proteins and essential fats break down over time. It doesn't matter if you deep freeze, freeze dry, can/jar... It is a chemical process that is a matter of time.

Thus foods stored will in 5 years lose about half of their nutritional content for most of the vitamins and will have protein break down of about 10-20%.

While MRE's and other long stored foods are 'decent' long term for their nutritional value, they are not as good for you as fresh foods, and traditionally preserved foods of 2 years or less.

Ultimately the 2 year expiration date is tied into the nutritional value of the contents of the container.

I was just gonna post that about honey. Also sugar if it's kept free of moisture (wrap in tin foil), and white flour.

I was wondering about Marmite (Vegemite) as it's high in vitamins. The jar gives it only about 18 months, but I'd imagine it'd last much longer as it has so much salt, like tinned salmon. Am I right d'you know?

I doubt white flour will last for a really long time, but I do seem to remember wheat grains have been found in Egyptian tombs which were still able to germinate.

Kennel Rations...

really?

you'd REALLY rather eat a turd?

that is a matter of personal taste i guess but a turd, i'll take STAG CHILLI anyday.

i have ten cases and i eat STAG CHILLI all the time and i think it is great with crackers or some good garlic bread.

that ten cases is just part of the four hundred cans or so i got stashed away.

Good. That will help keep your household sanitary WTSHTF!

This is a good question OP, and important for prepping. Here is an article I found on several studies of the actual shelf life of canned goods. :-)
