Are you willing to bet a cat's life on that? They put dates on the cans for
a reason. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Steve Crane" wrote in message om... Mike, The food is probably fine. The only changes in cat food over time of any consequence is a drop in palatability. If the cans are exposed to changing temperature cycles or freezing you can get what is called synerisis where the water separates from the loaf of food and then palatability will decline more rapidly. There is certainly nothing harmful about expired cans. (assuming of course the seal is still intact and there is no "bulge" in the can lids) |

Cat protector, I would think that Steve Crane knows what he is talking
about since he works for a pet food company. I will give the cans to a shelter and let them decide whether the food is safe or not. ---MIKE--- |

works for Hills. Cathy Sorry to piggyback, I lost Steve's original post and I wondered if he might know the answer to this...On pet food. Is the "sell by" date the same as the "use by" date? I was wondering because a pet food mill here gives us tons of cat food that's near the "sell by" date. For instance, what we got this month is "Sell byOctober". Apparently that's too short a time frame to get the food distributed and for stores to sell it. |
