If there is a water leak or dripping condensation from above (or in a very humid environment) water will collect on the top and rust.Why only the top?
This is great, I love cornbread, and was wondering how well the Jiffy I had on the shelf would hold.Some old corn bread mix I stored for testing. Generic Big Y from July 2010 and Jiffy from May 2014.
The Jiffy smelled normal, no clumping and I noticed the bag was 100% dry. The Big Y was clumpy, smelled like cardboard and the bad had an oil soaked thru.
I opened 4 of each and found same result in each brand. None of the 8 boxes showed any signs of mold. I made the Jiffy and tossed the BigY. The flavor blanded out some due to age but still good.
Next time I see Jiffy stuff on sale, gonna scoop up a lot and do a 5gal bucket/mylar/02. Seems like the Jiffy will keep at least 10 years.

it's some pretty dense calories, and a can of it can be stretched to feed multiple people with eggs.That corned beef hash is like my kryptonite. It's so bad for me but I love it so much.
But the Colonna is flavored with meat.If I was buying more I'd buy the BigY Chunky. It's WAY thicker than the Colonna.
Specifically the colon.Nope. Could be dog for all I know.![]()
I gotta do some taste tests. I have some canned corn from ‘09. #10 cans from ‘07. Dinty Moore from ‘08. Multiple 50lb bags of rice from around ‘09 too.
@xtry51 If you vacuum sealed the Jiffy and froze it as well as the other brand do you theorize what the outcome would be? How did you store these cornbread bags?
Are you still alive?Cracked open a 3 gal (food safe/gasketed) bucket of rice - circa 2011.
Zero precautions. Just white rice in a bucket.
Looked fine.
Gunna eat it.
Will report back.
The white rice in a plastic bag was fine after 12 years. I’m sure it could have lasted another 10.If you can't figure out how to store white rice, stop prepping. Pretty sure you could leave rice in a cupboard for 10 years and it would still be find. Lol.
Do not store brown rice. It will go rancid long term due to different oils breaking down.
Our LDS friends say white rice in their steel cans with O2 absorbers will last 30 years. I have vacuum canned rice in mason jars and after 15+ years it is indistinguishable from new.The white rice in a plastic bag was fine after 12 years. I’m sure it could have lasted another 10.
