What ends it. The food and the tin slowly react. That changes taste and texture rather than making it unsafe. How to make it last longer
Storage
Cool, dark, and check the date rather than assuming. This is the one tin here that is not a long-term store: FoodKeeper gives shelf-stable canned ham six to nine months where corned beef gets five years, because it is a wetter, less heavily cured product. Buy it to eat, not to hoard.
