In the last stages of dying, forcing food when the body says ânoâ may be harmful or painful to the dying person. Many dying persons will exhibit the âclenched jawâ sign as a way of saying âno.â Forcing fluid may cause choking, or the dying person may draw liquid into the lungs, making matters worse.
How long does canned soup stay good? A: Similar to other canned products, such as vegetables, canned soup lasts for up to 2 years if it is unopened. Often, canned products list a best-by date, which is not the same as an expiration date.
The desire for fresher soups has led to the development of new processing procedures and packaging formats that eliminate the need for salt and other preservatives. Many such soups are sold in special high-barrier pouches that allow soup to keep for up to 10 months on pantry shelves. Other soups require refrigeration but enjoy a similar shelf life. While impressive, these storage times can't compare to the 1-2 year shelf life of conventional, canned soups.
