In many places I've read that canned fruit doesn't last very long. Of course, I'm sure much of this is because "they" don't want people hanging onto canned fruit to sell more canned fruit. We get several cans of either peaches, pares and fruit cocktail every month in commodities, although the amount has been reduced drastically. Over time we have accumulated a good supply of each. DH loves fruit and will eat it often, although sometimes he will go for days without eating any. I eat it on occasion.
Some of it is a year or two expired, yet when I open one of the older cans (try to rotate) it is always fine. I'm not sure how many cans we have (I will count soon) but I bet we have at least one can a week for a year.
We don't especially care for furit cocktail but I use it to make an occasional furit cocktail cake, which is very tasty.
I'm probably talking to the choir about this because I doubt any decent prepper throws out food just because it expires.
I know people that toss perfectly good food on the day it expires. These are some of the same people that won't eat wild game after it has been in the freezer for a few months and one or two of those people are on food stamps. I guess they just don't know any better.
