Long term storage in the refrigerator is not recommended because condensation may collect on the can causing it to rust. However, prechilling unopened products such as canned fruits and juices is acceptable.

Properly canned food stored in a cool, dry place will retain optimum eating quality for at least 1 year.

Dampness may corrode cans or metal lids and cause leakage so the food will spoil.

Often people think that they can save money by buying larger containers of canned food, transferring the contents (or leftovers from the first use) to smaller jars and re-processing it.

Mold growth in foods can raise the pH of the food. In home canned products, this could mean that the high acid products could become low acid and therefore run the risk of botulism or other bacterial spoilage.

In these the high sugar content would prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum.

The three varieties listed above that were previously grain free are now no longer grain free.
