How long can you keep canned del Monte beef stew after best by date?

Canned Del Monte beef stew can typically be safe to consume for 2 to 5 years past the "best by" date if the can is intact and stored properly in a cool, dry place. However, while it may still be safe, the quality, flavor, and texture may deteriorate over time. Always inspect the can for any signs of damage, bulging, or rust, and check for off smells or unusual appearance when opened. When in doubt, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the product.
