Our expertise

For over 130 years, our farmers labour their land with love.

Following the changing needs of the earth from season to season, they strive to maintain the delicate stability of everything they grow.

Each fruit, each carefully cultivated plot of land, has its own balance that needs special attention.

Our fruit and vegetable canning processes capture great taste, as well as vitamins, antioxidants and essential nutrients in our products.

Del Monte is the guarantee of healthy, quality products at your fingertips and for all occasions.

How long can I keep a Del Monte can before opening?

As a guideline, Del Monte canned vegetables have a shelf life before opening between 2 and 3 years from the production date. This is assuming that the can isn’t dented or damaged and that the product is stored under normal conditions. 

 

As for our Del Monte fruit cups, they have a shelf life before opening of 1.5 years from the production date. This is only if the cup isn’t dented or damaged and that the product is stored under normal conditions.

After the best before date, we can’t guarantee that fruits and vegetables will retain their quality in terms of taste, texture, appearance or resistance to cooking. We recommend throwing out bulging or leaking cans or cups regardless of expiration date.

For most Del Monte products, the expiration date is on the lid or bottom of the can. In the case of multiple packaging, this date may also be located on the back of the product carton.
