Okay, I know that expiration dates on food are not an exact science. And I don't mess around with them with stuff like milk and cheese and what not. But I've been cleaning my kitchen, and have come upon some....well, some older food. And I am wondering how much creedence I should give to the dates on them.
In particular, a box of cereal, unopened, still sealed, with a date of October 2009.
Also, a can of tuna fish with a date of February 2009. Also some canned pineapple with dates of a few months ago.
So, should I automatically pitch these? Or should I be fine, since they are sealed/canned?
Anyone know anything about this? Anyone with experience in the industry?
