Good to hear about the expiration of can goods. I went through my pantry and more things that I expected had expiration dates. Thanks THere are many people asking for assistance from food banks this year, and the requests for holiday assistance is way up. I encourage everyone to do what they can to help.

Perhaps the government or better yet many of the wall street firms should put together a food donation package this season. Good post.

If you have food items to donate and do not know the expiration date you may call or email the food company as they can provide you with this information based on the code(s) on the package. Many pantry items should be used or tossed anywhere between 3 to 24 months of purchase. Great question!

I would like to donate canned goods to local food pantries but dont’t know the shelf-life of canned goods? I have some in the back of my shelves that have been around for 10 years or more. Are they still good? Thank you for encouraging people to think of those without food. As a social worker in an urban area, I see the need every day.

I don’t know who to ask. Got a Q? I have a dish marked “Not intended for use with food”? Can I use the dish with a napkin or doily. Can I use the dish with dry food, such as cookies? How about cheese? Other than decoration, can I use the dish?
