Producers provide short term expiration date to get you to buy again. Anything else relies on common sense. If cans are damaged, dented or have a bulging top, the contents are no good. Dried materials last for an ice age–I have used pasta products that were 10 to 12 YEARS old and they were fine. If packages have no bugs in them, you’re good. The only thing that gets iffy are items that are bottled, since most have an air gap at lid. Back to common sense–color, smell, etc. will tell you if it’s still ok.
