Crab

Nope. Seafood is chancy

No

Tins last indefinitely unless damaged

Seafood is always tricky

As it’s in a tin I think it would be fine

Tinned fish isn't a problem. It will be perfctly safe to eat.

I wouldn't eat it, crab like any seafood is likely to make you very ill if past it's best by date.

Thank you Monica for the link, I don't know why I did not think about Googling it. Thank you also to everyone else for responding, I see I am not the only one who worry needlessly about tinned fish. Thank you so much. I shall look forward to having ig. 🤞

Thank you very much NotAGran, very useful site.

Wouldn’t because whilst it may well be safe it probably wouldn’t taste great.
Nip into Home bargains, buy yourself a new tin and enjoy.

We have not got a home bargain as yet but will have by the summer apparently it will be very well received and very useful for us all I will definitely use it.

If it is a proper tin I wouldn’t worry. If it is a jar or similar I would chuck it.

It is a proper tin, I shall try it on Sunday, thank you all for your help and suggestions. I will let you know after the weekend if I am still alive!!

Like the others have said, being in a tin, it’ll probably be fine.
Speaking as someone who adores crab, I find tinned crab nothing like fresh crab. Not unpleasant, just not anything like crab.
Sainsbury’s and Tesco sell fresh crab with a long shelf life in the chiller cabinet, I think it’s called “Good Tide” That’s nice.
Crab would be my “condemned man’s last meal”!

Tins don't last forever. Personally, I'd bin crab if it's past the use by date and also the best before date. Cautious, I know, but safer.

I think it will be fine as it's in a tin. Open it and see,nothing to lose... My dad said during WW2 they were given tins of 'bully beef'...aka corned beef left over from WW1 and dad lived to nearly 94 with all his faculties! He hated corned beef, he never ate it after the war he said....I wonder why?...🤣 point is he survived 20+ years of food in a tin basically because it was sealed and no oxygen got in...

Just a thought..but, if you think about it the Crab has actually been cooked..I have a tub of COSCO crab in my fridge that I bought in December..it’s got a b.b. date 6 JAN 2027.. so a year but it does say eat within 2 days of opening which I always ignore..

Personally, I would not risk it, even although it probably is safe to eat.

BBE best before end - so yes okay to eat as long as tin isn’t damaged. Use by - definitely do not eat.

It is probably fine but I would be a bit careful as seafood can be risky.

No, I would definitely not be eating it, in date or out of date! 😝🤮

Not worth trying just in case, too much of a risk.

TTotally risk free
