Some on here may not know exactly how long food will last when their expiration date has passed. This might help some.
Decoding the mystery dates on food packages
Some good links on there as well.

Canned foods will remain edible for long past the ‘expiration date’, however they start losing nutritional value with time...
Dried foods such as rice, beans, oatmeal, cornmeal and the like will last virtually indefinitely, if protected from heat and moisture....
Has anyone had experience with dried meats - specifically the pre-packaged ‘jerky’ products - as far as storage limits??
Thank you, that will be a useful check list to have.
The foods today, are in the warehouse for too long, my brother works in one, he says some pallets of food sit there for years, before going to the store.
