Which begs the question, why date the tin in the first place?Tinned food is pasteurised in the tin. It will last for years past the best before date as long as the tin isn't bashed or damaged in some way.
I used to work in a food microbiology lab and I'd eat it.

More chance of being killed by it been thrown at your head than eating itIf you see the headlines on the front page of the daily Star "killed by a tin of rhubarb" in the future you know that's going to be me......![]()

GerrinGood way to rat out your stomach if it is slightly off I suppose.
Would never be bothered about eating out of tins if it’s perfectly sealed after the date.
My father in law loves tinned strawberry’s. (War generation and all that)
Last Christmas he had tinned strawberry’s and ice cream for afters.
On inspection the mother in law discovered that the date on the tin was 2012
He was absolutely fine.
Fascinating insight to the world of LOPI have 2 tins of rhubarb in the cupboard that on checking went out of date June 2022.
Will it be safe to make a rhubarb crumble with tomorrow or would you not risk it (I've scared myself to death reading about botulism and what not FFS).
RIP, I know, I know![]()

My family is nuts and they will not use bread or milk that is within a day of the sell by date, does my head in the wasteful buggers
Bread I would as long but not milk. Still have memories of swigging down a mouthful of out of date milk as a kid and vomiting due to the tastePartly for traceability. Everything has to have a paper trail. If the manufacturer looks up that date code, they should have records of the batch of rhubarb and the supplier, the same for the other ingredients in the juice or syrup and the same for the tin can and the lid. If a problem is later found with any of the ingredients or the packaging, they can do a recall on all tins with that date code.
Partly for stock rotation, so the shop can sell the oldest stock first otherwise you might have years old tins lurking at the back of the shelf.
Sniff and look test for me! You can normally eat bread and milk after the date if they look and smell ok.
I know that but try telling them that, but it goes out of date tomorrow!!!! So that is tomorrow when it will still be fresh enough to use you freakin moronsSniff and look test for me! You can normally eat bread and milk after the date if they look and smell ok.
