-Spoilage before canning

When adequately processed a time can be given during which the food product is still not spoilt. For example 1 year from date of canning. After this period there is a high possibility of food spoilage.

If a can of peas was bought from a grocery and it is spoilt it is either the peas were not well processed, there was spoilage before commercial canning, or water entered when cooling during canning
