The Truth About Food Expiration Dates

Original Article: Yahoo! Shine
Eggs: If you keep eggs refrigerated, they are still fresh three to five weeks after you buy them.
Canned Food: Canned food is still fresh for a year. That's also what the expiration date will likely say. Some argue that canned food will be fine even after that date, and because canned food is vacuum-sealed, it doesn't require food dating at all.
Apples: An apple will stay crisp and fresh for three weeks if refrigerated, and if they are cooked and then frozen, they will be good for eight months.
Cereal: Ready-to-eat breakfast cereal can last in your pantry without going stale for six to 12 months. Even if you eat cereal after that, it might be stale, but you certainly won't get sick from it.
Meat: It's recommended that you eat meat three to five days after you buy it. Freezing meat keeps it fresh and nutrient-filled for up to two months or more.
