So as any good prepper I've been rotating canned food.
Unfortunately I found four 16oz canned hams that got hidden away. I mark all my cans with month/year of purchase and these were marked Oct 2002. Made by Celebrity and factory marked EXPR 0117-2007. All of my food is stored in normal temps for here (we don't have cool basements) meaning as high as 105F in the summer and low as 30F in the winter
After finishing up some potatoes w/onions this morning I cut the ham into half inch slices and fried it up in it's own juices.
Taste and texture were just fine. i'll do the three other cans over the next month or so and buy some more.
Just though you might want to know. This is consistent with previous canned goods I've bought they will keep good even a few years after their "best by" date.
