What foods can last beyond their expiration dates?

Many foods can last longer than their expiration dates, such as canned goods, dry pasta, and rice.

How can I tell if canned food is still good to eat?

Check for any bulging, rust, or leaks in the can. If it looks fine and smells normal when opened, it’s likely safe.

What about dairy products like milk or cheese?

Milk can often be consumed a week past its expiration if it smells and tastes fine. Hard cheeses can last much longer.

Are there any specific storage tips to extend food life?

Yes! Store foods in a cool, dry place, and keep them sealed to prevent moisture and pests.

Can you give me a list of foods that last the longest?

Sure! Some long-lasting foods include honey, white rice, dried beans, and freeze-dried fruits.
