Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2004shelf life of cat food
I ordered a bunch of cat food on sale. Friskies for 25 cents a can. I'm wondering how long it can sit in a warm garage or a refrigerated house without going bad. Thanks. I'm supposed to pick it up today. : -) circa Mon, 28 Jun 2004 10:55:07 -0700, in alt.cats, aka Nurse Betty (goodidea1950SPAM-SPAM@hotmail.com) said, > I ordered a bunch of cat food on sale. > Friskies for 25 cents a can.

I just couldn't see them... little dots made by computer-like printer. The expiration date is out a couple of years.

From where did you obtain this food? Was it in its shipping boxes? If so, were there dates on those?

On the bottom of the cans I just bought, I see they are good until Nov 2005. How warm is your garage? Temperature is critical when it comes to canned foods. The ideal temperature for storing canned foods is 50F - 70F. If your garage gets warmer than 70F, this is not the right place for storage. |
