Canned food
Low-acid canned foods (such as beans or vegetables) can last for years past their expiration date if the can is intact.
Pasta
Dry pasta has a shelf life of 1–2 years after the expiration date. Just keep it tightly closed and dry.
Rice
White rice can last indefinitely if stored properly. Brown rice has more oils and may spoil more quickly, but it’s still safe even after the expiration date.
Cereal may lose its crunchiness, but is safe to eat even several months after the expiration date if stored in a dry, airtight container.
Peanut butter
Unopened peanut butter can last up to a year past its expiration date. Opened jars can last several months if stored in the refrigerator.
Frozen food products
Freezing stops bacterial growth. Frozen meals or vegetables remain safe long after their expiration date, although their flavor and texture may deteriorate.
Chocolate
Chocolate with a white coating (called “bloom”) is still safe. It may not look perfect, but it’s still edible.
Chips and crackers
They may lose their crispness, but are safe to eat after the expiration date if they are not stale or moldy.
Honey
Honey never spoils. It can crystallize over time—it simply needs to be gently heated to return it to its liquid form.
