I really need to check on my MRE stash. They're getting close to hitting 5 years. I had a beef brisket one not too long ago and it was fine.
I have a couple cases I have to throw out. Had them like 8 years
Are you kidding? Those things last forever if stored properly
After successfully unearthing and preserving “Blue Babe,” a 36,000-year-old steppe bison found near Fairbanks in 1979, Guthrie’s team celebrates by simmering some leftover flesh from Babe’s neck “in a pot of stock and vegetables.” The author reports that “the meat was well aged but still a little tough, and it gave the stew a strong Pleistocene aroma.”
Found a bottle of cognac in a moving box in the basement. The bottle had been opened about 8 years ago. It was fine!
Booze lasts forever if stored right. I think i still have stuff in my basement over 25 yrs old.
Can of 2012 tuna yesterday - it was fine. Might have lost a little bit of that 'fresh canned tuna flavor', but not at all bad.
That didn't go so well for me a few weeks ago. Let's just say my stomach was on the ball enough to not let any of it get digested.
Oil or water?
I only long term store water packed as oil can degrade over time.
I'm eating tuna from '12 regularly along with my wife and kids. Zero issues.
Also what brand? Can popped?
Lol. I always Guinea pig myself first.

Nice. Some nuts don't store well, but I haven't done enough to know for sure.
Might be worth throwing some in a pail for linger term in a Mylar with O2 absorber then.
