How do you know when canned vegetables and fruits and suaces have expired if there is no date on the can and you can not remember when they were purchased?

Bear in mind that not all products expire. Table salt, honey, dried grains and various other things do not expire. Anything that has a limited shelf life should have an expiration date marked on the package, but if it doesn't, you will just have to observe any visible or odorous sign of deterioration.
Some products dont have dates on them but codes that have to be figured out. I know that Hersey uses letters and numbers. For example 1H means it expires 2011 August. I wish the government would make them put actual dates on the product so we didnt have to do all this research.

∙ 15y agoIf you can find a four digit code on the can, it is a Julian date. Since there are 365 days in a year, this number will be one of the 385 plus another one for the year. An example will be 2168. This number says that the product should expire on the 216th day of 2008. If there are no markings at all on the can, discard it as it probably is too old to use and may be a safety hazard.
