I do not disagree with anyone here on this subject, BUT I have heard about botulism. It sounds like scary stuff. I assume the biggest concern there is around canned foods. From the CDC " You cannot see, smell, or taste botulinum toxin – but taking even a small taste of food containing this toxin can be deadly."

Prevent Botulism

Every few years I review my longterm food storage items. This year was the first year I tossed canned items. Stuff that was two or three years out of date went into the garbage. It felt wasteful but I'm not playing games. I try my best to keep things in the food rotation to avoid problems and eat what I buy..
