I feel compelled to respond to this. I'm only speaking for me and all my examples are within the last 3 yearsI'm curious how you came to this conclusion.
I've found powdered eggs 6mts and longer past their use by date, opened them and found paste that smelled most fowl.
Opened a tub of vacuum packed elbow noodles (9 years old) and found packets of powder that turned to gelatin when
you added water. Does it still have caloric value, I don't know.
brand new can of beef broth leaked, found it 6 months later (cause it was in the back, FIFO) lost 3 more cans all of the newest stock.
last Friday I was in the basement looking for pictures of my Mom to put out for my birthday party and found:
1: the galvanized trashcan I store dog food in had been invaded by mice, they used the 2 layers of paper at the bottom to nest in and ruined 60lbs of Natural balance dog food they got in through a dime sized hole in the bottom caused by a dent in the side.
2: The mice had bypassed the another can holding 80lbs of cat food. (mice went past this can to get to the dog food no droppings, no urine but little teeth marks on the corners of the bags) If the mice won't eat it then i WILL not feed it to my cats) oddly enough there was a dent in the side and a dime sized hole breaking the seam at the bottom.
3: I wondered when the dents happened as they weren't there in December when i last looked over storage in detail. The tub directly over the cans looked "stressed" inside i found that the tub was broken on the rear corner and had been turned around. inside was the remains of 8 replacements filters for my berky and a paint can of .22 that i though I'd shot 5 years ago.
Right now, I really don't want to fess up on whats happened to the contents of my freezers in the last 3 years.
Flame on.
