9 year old olive oil. Is it toxic?? No it is not. Nutritional value maybe decreased. freshestoliveoil.com/blogs/learn/does-olive-oil-go-bad www.purewow.com/food/does-olive-oil-go-bad?amphtml=true PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

You are right about the instant noodles Kim.The olive oil 9 years on certainly looked clear.The oil going rancid usually go very cloudy and grainy .Good food for thought Thanks Kim👍

Good topic to bring up. "Best by" dates are like new fashion styles -- it's all about getting you to buy something new that you don't really need. In regards to OTC meds, I've talked about this with my pharmaceutical scientist brother and my former chemistry prof. colleague -- both said that expiration dates (different from best by) are established based on testing of the deterioration of the components over time. That 10-year-old aspirin will not have the same efficacy, though it won't be toxic. Regulated meds have dosages based on that efficacy element, so you can't easily just say, it's old, I'll just take more -- that may prove an issue with some drugs as you don't know just how much it has broken down. This reminds me that I need to change out some items in my first-aid kits.

Great video. Not rancid if no air I guess? White chopped onion and water first in the fry pan makes no need for oil when frying. Vegan health tip

Thank You! It has long been my wish that shelf stable foods be labeled with the process / packaged date. Same thing we do with home preserving of foods. Then people would have to rely on time honored methods of determining when food should be discarded. To my knowledge, here in the US, excluding baby foods, there are no regulations on those dates stamped on foodstuff. Processors choose the date (Best By, Sell By, Use By) in accordance with their own reasons for doing so. Legal, profit, inventory turn-over often comes into consideration ahead of factors relating to actual shelf life potential, IMO. The example that I often use is white rice. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of 30+ years. Yet, the date we see when we buy it is about 2 years in the future, at most. I've personally stored it for more than 10 years, in sanitized 2 liter soda bottles, without any problem. Stored in Feb 2010, in Mar 2020 opened a bottle and cooked some to test. Enjoyed my supper. Cooked a big batch and then dehydrated it for "instant" rice. If I had followed the date on the bags when I bought it, I would have tossed that rice around 2012. Yes, over time canned foods, in particular, will lose some nutritional value. Depending on the product, there may be color, texture and flavor changes. *Properly canned and stored, as long as the seal isn't broken, the food is safe to eat.* With the seal intact, nothing can get into the container to cause spoilage. Your container of olive oil is a good example. Unopened, the full tin was not subject to oxygen produced rancidity. The tin, like glass, is not permeable, which is a problem with many plastic containers. Again, thank you for addressing this. Here, far too much food goes to landfills because people consider "Best By" to be an Expiration Date. It's only what it states: The period of time that the processor considered it to be of the best QUALITY. If I'm hungry I'd be thankful for a can of beans with only 85% of the original nutritional value. That 85% will curb my hunger pangs! Here, many, food for the hungry, distribution places will not accept donations of foods that are past the Best By date. Or, they will accept a donation and then quietly dispose of it, without telling the donor. Yet, in this Covid environment we do have people with not enough to eat, through no fault of their own. We also have people on limited budgets trying to keep their pantry stocked. They are taking hard earned dollars off their pantry shelves and putting them in their trash. Only to buy more of the same items, because they've been taught that "Best By" is EXPIRATION. (sigh) Anyone reading this far, thank you for doing so. Please do your own research so you don't discard good food based on assumptions, often promoted, about those dates.

G'day, Yay Team ! Sometimes it takes me 10 years to finish a 4-litre Tin, and I usually have a spare one - held against the day it runs out. So, what I have in-use is usually at least 10 years old, if not 15 or perhaps 20. I store the Tins inverted, to prevent Antichinuses from chewing through the Plastic Lid/Telscoping Pouring-Spout, as well as to keep any Ultraviolet Light off the Plastic. If Preserved Food has gone off, it usually smells like rotting Crap - it's not a thing one would miss (!). Have a good one, Stay safe... ;-p Ciao !

Thank you. Good info. Just reading other comments, use/ best by dates are controversial sometimes. Cheers.

I wonder if the metal canned oil stores better than the plastic bottled oil?

G'day mate, that's great to know that it's still good after so long. God bless you guys. 🦘👍

You have a beautiful day too! Good point about the oil.

very good information. real time, face experience, no bs. tkx

Thank you for sharing your real experience.

great video and knowledgeable content

Yeah Plastic containers tend to break down. Glass is another good option.

thanks mate. good job.

New sub here from Survival Living! 👍

I'm drinking a five year old bottle now and it smells, looks, and tastes fine.

New sub. Good info. YER some types do go rancid. Cheerio.

Gosh, still good after all that time. thx for sharing.

G'day, It takes me up to 5 years to use a gallon of olive oil, and I have 2 cans in reserve, so I normally use 10 to 15 year old stuff. I store the Tins upside-down, to prevent Mice or Antichinus from chewing through the Plastic Bungs while waiting for the decade to pass. The Metal Cans, ALL metal Food Cans, are lined with a Plastic Membrane sprayed onto the Sheetmetal before the Cans are cut out and crimped together. No Food or Drink, in any Metal Can, has touched Metal for at least the past 50 years ; as far as I know... "Tins" of Food used to be thin Sheet Steel with Electroplated Tin to seal the Steel from Corrosion - and then they added the Plastic layer. True story mate ! Segue, Backtrack me to my Videos, for, "National Transportation Museum...; Visiting My First Aeroplane !" You should get a good giggle... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

It will go rancid under certain conditions. If it is stored in a cellar with constant temperature it will last a long time. I store all mine in a dark cellar. The only issue is if the metal container rusts. I also have stored some of mine in bottles. So it makes it easier to replenish to the kitchen pantry.

Good job
