I found some old Rations (1963) and did not eat the "tinned dog" as well, i doubt a 35 year old meat anything, but ate the cheese the chocolate and tinned pairs with no ill effects.
I have aboridginal friends who put down powdered dryed emu jerky for years, no science there, lots of mineral salts though. but it tastes great, compared with some of there "storge foods" and a couple pounds of that will last them a month or so in hard times.
I've been told it can last 20 years but cant say for sure.
cheers
