Title: Canned Goods
Post by: Travis on September 17, 2014, 03:44:14 PM: Finding canned food in storage units is quite common, but are they safe to consume? Some of these units can reach temperatures of 130 +/- degrees in summer. Do you think canned food is still good after being heated up every day for months?

Older than that, and in the dumpster they go.
