Shelf-Life/ Storage
What is the shelf life of Del Monte® canned products?
As a guideline, Del Monte® canned products have a shelf-life of about 2 to 3 years from the date of production. This assumes the can isn't dented or damaged, and the product is stored under normal conditions. After that time, the color, flavor and texture of the food may begin to deteriorate, although the contents would still be safe. We do recommend that any swollen or leaking containers be discarded, regardless of their age.
The majority of our canned products contain a 'Best By' date on the can. If you have a Del Monte canned product without a "Best By" date, or you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
What is the shelf life of a Del Monte product after it is opened?
After opening, canned foods should retain their original quality for at least 2 to 3 days when refrigerated and sealed in a plastic or glass container. Del Monte Ketchup, Chili Sauce, Seafood Cocktail Sauce, Orchard Select® Products, and SunFresh® products will retain their quality for 1 to 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
