DAK hams were mentioned in a recent article as a good canned meat
to store. I agree with this 110%....I've actually called and talked
to
the supervisor
of DAK
hams in the USA. His name is Ole he is very nice and wonderful to talk
too I recommend it... Ole has told me repeatedly that DAK hams will
store for at least 5 years at normal room temperatures.
Ole
also told me how to read the date code on the can. its format is XXXX
H or generally that way the first 2 digits are the DAY of the year
and the
last 2 are the digits for the YEAR that the can was sealed.
so if you have a code 6006 H it was sealed on the 60th day of
2006 and would be good at least until 2011. The 60th day
would
be about FEB 28th. Ole has also promised that they will
not be putting that new
virus experiment on their hams since
they are cooked and sealed and have no need for germ
protection....Thank goodness.
I believe that Ole is from Denmark where DAK hams come from, you can
tell when you talk to him. So I trust him a lot with DAK products...DAK
hams are also very
inexpensive at $3.99 and have 8 slices of ham in them, good for any
backpack venture or survival storage. They also can make a nice little
gift to friends or to the poor. - Cruzan
