Don't be silly. Canned stuff practically last forever. People have eaten
(and enjoyed) canned items recovered from shipwrecks back when canning
was still new (and needed to be opened with hammers and chisels - no
cordless electric canopeners then).

Enjoy them if the cans are intact and not bulging.
