Cleaning out my cabinets, I came across the can of clams with the Best by date of July 2020.

Best By has to do with quality/freshness. That's not an expiration date. nm Wed, Apr 20 2022 at 01:11 PM CDT (1)

- Pam, you must be my sister from another mister. I agree with you 1000% and I tossed it. OP Sun, Apr 17 2022 at 07:49 PM CDT (5)
  - On this topic, what if you opened a can of tuna and the inside of the top of the can was rusted but tuna tasted fine. Exp date 11/22 Mon, Apr 18 2022 at 12:53 PM CDT (4)
    - I'd probably toss that nm Talon Mon, Apr 18 2022 at 04:57 PM CDT (3)
      - Yes, I'd also eat the clams and toss the tuna. Food inside an intact can is absolutely safe to eat. It will not give you food poiisoning. sm Mon, Apr 18 2022 at 05:30 PM CDT (2)
        
        Another tuna question. Exp date of 11/22 - shouldn't it be much longer (sm) me again Tue, Apr 19 2022 at 02:32 PM CDT (1)

I'd give it the sniff test, and if it passed would be used. nm Talon Sat, Apr 16 2022 at 04:49 PM CDT (0)
