Thoughts on past date canned food

[momofmutts]

Hi, I work in a pet food store, and I’ve come across some cans of Nature’s Variety Instinct lamb that have stale dated. I know that dry foods lose nutrients as they age and should be fed as fresh as possible, but what are your thoughts on canned food? We will definitely not be selling this food, but If it is still safe to be fed, it would be a shame to throw out such high quality food. I would much rather donate it to a shelter if possible.

I’ve always heard that with canned foods, if the tin isn’t bloated in any way, then the contents are still good.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
