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.
Most sources say that home-canned foods will store safely for at least one year. With other food items, the level of acid in the food is the critical element for determining how long it may store. Low-acid foods last longer on your shelves than foods with higher amounts of acid. Some sources say all commercially canned food should last at least two years. Surprising to some, canned meats can last the longest. Most sources say they will keep for 2 to 5 years. Some sources say they will last even longer. I found a shocking story about a can of meat that was 118 years old.
