Default Re: Crab Meat

Remember that expiration dates are the recommendation of the manufacturer of when you should use that food item for the best quality and taste. As long as the can is not bulging or punctured bacteria won't set in - so it would be the taste that would be the concern. The longer you wait - the more the taste would be affected. With canned fish/seafood - I would eat that imediately - but if it smells funny - don't even taste it - just toss it. Better safe than sorry.
