Quick Answers
How long may canned foods be stored?
We recommend that you use home-canned foods within one
year. Although properly canned foods will remain safe
for longer periods, the eating quality and nutritional
value of the food will decrease. Environmental factors
such as humidity, temperature, and light also affect
food quality.
