Food Shelf Life Longer Than Thought
Shelf Life is 30 Years or More
Did you know that properly packaged low moisture foods carefully stored at room temperature or cooler (75°F/24°C or lower) have a much longer shelf life than previously thought? Estimated shelf life for many products has increased to 30 years. While this doesn't apply to vegetable oils, many staples will still retain a significant nutritional value over many, many years; certainly significant enough to sustain life. Here's a sample.
