Survival Food Storage Update: New Rules on Expiration Dates

New Guidelines

We're not worried here about saving money so much as saving our lives.  How long will packaged food last.  If it is perishable it should first pass the smell test no matter what the date says.  Other rules for safety always need to be observed like maintaining the proper temperatures for meats, dairy, and seafood.   If you don't you could be asking for a bad dose of food poisoning.

Food canned or vacuum sealed in foil/plastic still offer some of the best and low cost ways to build a food insurance plan.  As for expiration dates you now know that the dates all along were suggestions.
