Canned fruits stored in a
cool dry place will retain
their best quality for as long
as a year from date of pur
chase When stored too long
or at too high a temperature
canned fruits lose quality
They re still safe to eat
though, if the seal isn’t
broken Freezing doesn’t
make canned fruits unsafe
to eat unless it breaks the
seal of the container and lets
m bacteria that cause
spoilage
