Use by 2010, Still good?

[Serendipity]

I have a can of crushed pineapple that says use by Dec 2010...Can I use it anyway?

[Weezie]

I have and would still. Smell it when you open it. If it smells fine, go for it. If not, chuck it.

[Zipporah]

I would-unless it's obviously funky.

[MaiMama]

Yep. You can use mayonnaise when it's brown too. Just in case you ever wanted to know. :shifty I have a hard time now that I'm in the states remembering that there are *some* things I need to pay attention to dates on. Canned goods are not one of them though.

If it is not bulging or smelling funny, it would be OK.
I have a can that says June 2010 that I found when I was cleaning out the pantry. I kept it, figuring that when the time came to eat it, if it tasted bad, we just would not eat it. Taste is my main concern. I would be worried it would have picked up the can taste or smell, or fermented.

I would use it :yes

:yes This is pretty much my guideline with all food. Sniff, taste, eat.
