Since I've just canned venison and chicken, I looked on the web for suggested shelf life of the food and came across this article which tested canned foods that were 46-100 years old. The results were very good news for those of us who have stashes.

My research showed me that 3 - 5 years is a reasonable estimate on home canned meats, although a couple of articles stated they could last much longer.
