We store as we might be short of food in the future. I expect if/ when the time comes to throw away those tins or pass them over if you find any in someone's store room with a best before date on, you will probably change your mind.


Mine will be fine.. They dont have any dates on. ;)


Seriously though best before are fine to eat.
You miss the point entirely. If you rotate your food stocks and consume from your food stocks using a system of first in / first out, it is unlikely anything should ever need to be tossed. My survival food will come from varied sources as I am well situated to live off food stores, farmland and forestland to include lakes. For me this is a discussion of best practices. You can do whatever you please with whatever outcomes may happen.
