I started prepping in February 2020. And doing so I bought huge (6 pound) cans of black beans and tomato sauce. Three years later (stored/unopened in my basement), and I just opened up a can of each. Both cans passed the visual, odor and (small) taste test. A lot of sites online seem to be telling me to throw it out. I probably trust all of you more than those sites. Hold on to the rest or play it safe?

Prepped since the Big O's years. I had a flood in my garage and several #10 cans got rusted. I squeezed 2 of them and felt some give so I opened them up just to see and there were tiny rust holes in the cans. Naturally I threw them out. As long as unopened it should last but be careful how and where you store them. I would not have seen those holes if I wasnt really looking for them.
