Those use by dates will sneak up on you if you do not go through each and every can.
I got to the back of a shelf in one pantry the other day and found a can that felt funny when I shook it.
It "clanked" instead of "sloshed".
The "use by" date was 10/2012.
The use by dates can be fudged a bit, since there is no real governing body that sets them, just a manufacturers suggestion, but I figured 7 years was a bit risky.
I kept the can for a couple of days trying to decide if I should send it to the chemical warfare specialists for disposal.
It was beef stew, so I fed it to the neighbors dog, who showed no ill effects, but I was not in the same house with him that night.
He has stayed out of my garden for the past few days.
