Does canned food ever expire?

    I've noticed that I've had a lot of canned food for a while, and it always says "extremely well preserved." Does it actually ever expire? Just curious.

    I think it does. The canned food that started off in my ship locker went rotten at some point.

    Well, given that I played about twenty hours with the same character, without the canned food in my backpack expiring, I guess it never rots. It is still "Extremely well preserved" by the way.

    Getting mixed responses... I think I should wait until some people get definite answers.

    It does, any food with a state rots. Coffee beans are also one of those things that take ages to rot.

    Alright.
    Maybe it expires after a LONG time, as I am not aware of the time Jonesy spent with his character.

    The wiki doesn't know more than us on this subject though.

    i'm guessing it takes a couple of real-life days?

    What about food in the fridges?

    Food in fridges doesn't appear to expire.

    Can confirm, I now have a pile of rotten canned food in my ship's locker.

    I kept it in there for emergencies, thinking it would not expire, but it did.

    I'm guessing refrigerators/ice boxes stop it from going bad however.

    Timer for Canned Food is something like 30+ hours. (Source: Mod that shows food rot timers.)
