What are some food items you can buy in a store that would have the longest shelf life?

Canned food

I buy in bulk and can my own in glass jars.


My oldest canned food is from 2014, and is still safe to eat.

In recent years frozen items from Scott's expedition to Antarctica (1910-13) were found to still be edible. Not sure about the quality.

Dried beans, 30 years
Rolled oats, 30 years
Pasta products, 30 years
Potato flakes, 30 years
Dehydrated fruit slices, 30 years
Dehydrated carrots, 20 years
