Looking in my cupboard the other day, I wondered if that can of tuna purchased two years ago was still edible. After wiping the thick layer of dust off it, I opened it. It didn’t smell bad; however, I threw it in the garbage without tasting it. I’m not that dedicated to creating an amusing anecdote for Steel White Table.
Is there any type of food that doesn’t go bad? Will a steak kept in a freezer be edible no matter how long it stays frozen? Will dry pasta be good after five years sitting in its package? Will a jar of peanut butter stay fresh indefinitely? This consumer wants to know (without testing themselves)!
