Optimum shelf life is when it is stored in ideal conditions, meaning sealed with oxygen absorbers and in a cool temperature. The shelf life given is when the nutrients are depleted up to a certain percentage. The food may not be bad but you are no longer getting nourishment from eating it. Hope that makes sense!

In the Shelf Life list linked above - please clarify "Optimum Shelf Life". Is that the answer you gave Melissa "They are sealed in number 10 cans, with oxygen absorbers", IE sealed unopened properly stored cans?

Rust and Frozen - obvious if the container is compromised and is no longer vacuum sealed I would throw it out. Otherwise I question these throw out recommendations.

Last summer I dry roasted tomatoes and put them in jars with olive oil,
some herbs and spices. They have been stored in a 'pantry'. The tomatoes were
covered to the top of the jars with the olive oil. There is no mildew and they
smell great. Are they still safe to use?

thank you,

Hi Jody & Julie, I love your site. It has helped me start preparing my food storage, when all I could feel was overwhelmed and did not know where to start. Thank you.
I saw a list on your site that showed how many pounds of beans, rice, or anything you
could store in a 5 gallon bucket. Now I can't find it. Can you help me out with where it is? I tried to print it out, but it was wider than my page and I did not get all of the information.
I appreciate you so much,

Denise, we haven't had anyone else with this problem. I will try sending a copy of the pdf to your email and see if that works.

I am having trouble accessing the .pdf file. It keeps saying "the file is damaged and cannot be repaired." Is it just me? Thanks!

Thanks for this. I really wish I had these lists last year when I began using my in-laws Food Storage at their insistence. I never knew flour could go bad, but believe me, it does and it's the most horrible taste you could imagine!
