Is it safe to eat a can of Spam 2 years past the expiration date (assuming the can isn't damaged/rusty/bent in any way)?

We're still on "is it safe to eat spam".

[Anonymous No.18001949]

They base the expiration on a few things, but mostly on the possibility that a small amount of bacteria or contaminants got into the container. Given this small culture and enough time for it to multiply and grow then it can become deadly. The other reason is the preservatives can eventually destroy the food itself leaving no nutritional value and a shitty slop in its place.

[Anonymous No.18001974]

Well... it's either going to be 100% safe OR you might be eating a bacteria that makes the most deadly toxin known. Like a 1 nanogram will kill you.

Most likely homeless white people actually. Black people steal beef jerky and ramen noodles, which they consume uncooked.

It never expires but the texture and taste might be off after a while, as in all canned foods.

canned foods DO NOT EXPIRE. there is NO expiration date on a can.

they are still good unless they have a hole in them or are swollen.

Only a hiss is good, The can was sealed with a vacuum and the vacuum is intact.
A hiss with contents spilling/spurting out means the contents have expanded, as in fermented/rotted

It's safe if it's not inflated
Check for bulging and listen for a suction hiss when you crack the can open

>past the expiration date
That's the "best by" date, meaning by then it's just loses it's high quality in taste. Spam is not acidic on the ph scale so it should be safe to eat for at least five years. Though I'd recommend cooking it just in case.

cooking it again? doesn't the canning process mean it's cooked? like they can raw tuna but it gets cooked in there.

If it's been sitting in a hot car its entire life, probably not, otherwise I'd say 3 is safe, living in a hot climate and eating expired foods is riskier though. If you live somewhere very cold you can probably eat food 5 years expired no problem.
