How long does
opened canned food last?
Once opened, canned food becomes perishable and should be refrigerated.
What to do
Transfer to a clean covered container when recommended.
Do not take a chance
Discard swollen, leaking or spurting cans without tasting.
These times are guidance, not a guarantee. Initial freshness, preparation, packaging and actual temperature all matter. Never taste questionable food to test safety.
