What is the expiration date of this ham? Is it correct to say these canned hams do not need refrigeration until after opeining can?

Yes, they need no refrigeration. The ones I bought last year have a 2017 best buy date.

I can't give an exact expiration date because each can may have a different date based on the production date/lot. As for refrigeration, you're correct that the ham doesn't need to be refrigerated until it's opened, though you may want to refrigerate it before opening. I've found that the ham comes out of the can easier when it's cold. I usually refrigerate it for a few hours. I hope this helps.

The expiration date on most canned food is appx. 2 yrs from time of canning by the company . It is usually stamped on the top or bottom of the can . The time of experation is greatly increased by keeping it in cool ( 60 degrees ) dark and dry place... My grandma always looked at the outside and inside after opening the can to make sure there were no rust mold etc .. She would than smell it for foul smell and the final test was taste .. If. It past her tests, she served it ...We buy food by the case and following all steps from cool to the taste we have had no problems after the experation date ... After opening you must refrigerate all food The expiration date on most canned food is appx. 2 yrs from time of canning by the company . It is usually stamped on the top or bottom of the can .

I just bought some, and it has a date of 11/15/15 on it (today is 7/7/14). Plenty of time to use it. Also, for the other commenter asking about refrigeration, the bottle does say "refrigerate after opening". There was more info on all of this at their website redboatfishsauce DOT com

I would imagine there is an expiration date, but I didn't look for one. I bought them a month at a time via the vet (much more expensive than Amazon). I didn't have a need to refrigerate. Contact 888.886.6442 or nutramaxlabs dot com for better answers. They have great customer service.

Yes, it needs to be refrigerated after opening. It will last for up to two weeks if refrigerated.

Hi it does not need to be refrigerated, but is much better cold. Each package has the expiration date on them.

It doesn't require refrigeration. I store it in my cupboard. I purchased it in November 2013. The expiration is July 2015. It is well and beautifully packaged. I have no complaints about this product.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, that just doesn't exist. 15 years is the shelf life on the Survival Cave Canned Meats which is pretty good and better than freeze dried meats which are in the 10 year range.

Very good question. I do not know and cannot verify by looking at the expiration date on the can as we used ours last year or even 2012 ... whenever we purchased it. I must say, however, that it was superior canned salmon, compared to what you buy in the store. I am a person who pays attention to expiration dates, so I cannot imagine that I used a can that had an expired date.

It is up to a week if I put it in a closed glass jar and keep it refrigerated, but past that I would not keep it. I do not store it in the can.

It says in the listing, "Store up to 1 year. If jars do not completely seal, refrigerate and consume within one week.Serve it! Pour into containers and let cool. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate up to 1 week."But I have canned many things that last longer than a week in the fridge once opened. I think it would depend on how well they were processed, how clean the utensils that are dipped in it during use are, and how well it is sealed up in the fridge. Those practices will help it last longer.

I had not noticed that date. Since it is long before the can was sold, it is probably the date the product in the can was produced. It should not have anything to do with expiration or the such. The product (if kept in a clean, safe, and moderate temperature area) should remain safe and useable indefinitely.

They don't expire. They don't need refrigeration. They are ultra sterilized.

The oil is high in antioxidants and stores well in a cool dry place, about a year. Look at the expiration date, if you will get close to it or over by the time it will be spent, refrigerate now. Rule of thumb is you double remaining expiration time every 10 degC cooler than room for factory sealed foods. I recently had rotated a can of emergency refrigerated tuna exp. 2007 (rule of thumb extended it over 7yrs) and was delicious. If the oil will not be used for an extended period and you do have refrigeration room, why not extend the expiration and freshness by keeping it cooler?

It's for product freshness. It is not required to be refrigerated. Were suppose to prove it goes bad and tests cannot prove it goes bad. However where starting to place expiration dates for the UK to help reduce confusion.

I don't see an expiration date on the can. I am keeping it in the refrigerator.

As long as the package is still sealed and holding a vacuum there is no need to throw the food away! The expiration date is a date that stores can no longer sell that item. Use common sense and don't waste something that could save your life. I have eaten these 4 years after their expiration dates and they were fine. If your into throwing away money and good food then be my guest. Companies want you to discard the old product so you can spend more money restocking your shelves. In the military, we never threw anything away unless it was obviously inedible.

All I can say is, I checked my "Best by" date and it was 12/14. I will probably go through a case by then. A biiger question is: Does it have to be refrigerated after opening. I don't know, probably not. I base that on the facts that 1) there is not a lot of refrigeration in S. Viet Nam and, 2) It is fermented. Nonetheless, I do keep mine in the fridge once the bottle is opened. I go through it pretty quick since it goes in 90% of what I cook.
