Frequently Asked Questions

If canned foods have been frozen during storage, are they safe to eat?

National Center for Home Food Preservation | Canning FAQs
Freezing does not cause food spoilage unless the seal is damaged or the jar is broken. These often happen as the food expands during freezing. Frozen foods, however, may be less palatable than properly stored canned food. In an unheated storage place, protect canned foods by wrapping the jars in paper or covering them with a blanket.

What should I do to keep refrigerated and frozen foods safe during a power failure?

KEEP THE FREEZER DOOR CLOSED. Keep what cold air you have inside. Don't open the door any more than necessary. You'll be relieved to know that a full freezer will stay at freezing temperatures about 2 days; a half-full freezer about 1 day. If your freezer is not full, group packages so they form an "igloo" to protect each other. Place them to one side or on a tray so that if they begin thawing, their juices won't get on other food.

Are frozen vegetables safe to eat if they are not blanched?

National Center for Home Food Preservation | Freezing FAQs
Yes. They are safe to eat, but the quality (color, flavor and texture) will be poorer than that of vegetables which have been blanched. Blanching slows or stops the action of enzymes which cause loss of flavor, color and texture.

Is it safe to jar already canned food?

National Center for Home Food Preservation | Canning FAQs
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.

Is it safe to eat soybeans and other soy foods?

PCRM >> Health >> Dr. Neal Barnard's Program...
Recently, questions have been raised about the possible health risks of soy consumption, but the overwhelming majority of studies on soy have shown positive health effects or, at worst, neutral ones. Some soy products are high in sodium and contain a higher-than-healthy level of fat, so be sure to check the labels and choose the low-fat versions. Nonetheless, these foods are much healthier than the animal-derived foods they are intended to replace. Soy is not an essential part of a vegan diet.

Are genetically engineered foods safe to eat?

Frequently-Asked Questions: Biotechnology Project
GE food companies and others have conducted a number of tests to determine food safety and that testing has not uncovered any evidence of harm. Those tests have included short-term high-dose animal feeding studies of the GE protein, determining whether and how quickly the GE protein is broken down in the stomach (which prevents exposure to the rest of the body), and testing the levels of a number of naturally occurring plant components to make sure they have not been changed in the GE crop.

Are bioengineered foods safe to eat?

Welcome to the Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) of the U.S. E...
Yes, they are as safe as any other food we eat. That is, bioengineered food and non-bioengineered food are equally safe. In fact, bioengineered food may be safer. Traditional breeding techniques are often imprecise because they shuffle thousands of genes in the offspring, causing them to have some of the characteristics of each parent plant.

How long will these canned foods store?

FAQ Page for Best Prices Storable Foods
While we cannot guarantee these canned foods will last this long, you really should read about the canned food taken to the Arctic in 1820 . . . and opened in 1938, and found still to be edible. That's after 118 years with a can produced when canning technology was about 10 years old! I know you're busy and have no spare time (the average time people spend on our website is 3 1/2 minutes), but you really owe it to yourself to read this page.
