Is it okay to eat canned soup after the expiration date?
Tomorokoshi
Yes.
During the canning process, the soup is cooked at a high temperature (around 130 degrees Celsius) killing any harmful bacteria.
The can itself is coated with an inert resin which helps protect the contents from being tainted or spoiled by bacterial contamination as well as prevent the can from corrosion. The inside of the can is sterile before being filled.
The can is sealed air tight which prevents the growth/introduction of bacteria after canning (and of course keeps the soup inside).
If the canning process was done properly, the soup will last for years or even decades past the expiration date without being harmful. (I'm actually finishing off a bowl of chicken soup which expired four years ago).
However, if the can is bulging in any way, then the soup inside is not safe to eat. As bacteria grows and multiplies in the soup, it creates a by-product of CO2 gas which creates the buldge/pressure in the can. Over time, the can could burst due to the pressure.

∙ 13y agoNo, it might have undergone food spoilage. In general, do not consume anything that is past the expiration date, even if it still looks fresh, because expiry dates are there for a reason. To prevent food wastage (since you probably have to discard them), check the expiry dates frequently. If you think it is printed too small on the can, use a permanent marker to write it as big as you want.
Answer:If you're talking about commercially canned food then it should be okay to eat. Commercially canned food is processed at a high enough temp that it's basically sterile, and has enough salt (sodium) in it to kill off most food-borne illnesses. The quality and texture may change over time, but it'll remain edible for as long as the container is sealed, especially if it's in a metal can.Wiki User

Can you eat cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup after expiration date?
If that is canned, shelf stable soup, the date is a best-if-used-by - not an expiration. If the can is in good condition and has been stored in a cool, dry area, the soup may be OK to use. If any seams have been compromised or the ends are swollen, throw it away.
Can you eat canned fruit after date on tin?
I have routinely eaten canned fruit after their expiration dates. That applies to most canned foods as well. One that doesn't last is canned milk. Toss it after it expires. Beans. canned meat, veggies, soup etc, all last much longer than expiration dates without altering taste or texture much. As long as the can is not punctured it should last much longer. One reason for expiration dates is of course safety. The other being likely, that companies want to sell their products, even if you can't keep up to eating them. So go ahead oand buy on sale eat later.
