For maximum storage life, we first fill the can with a particular dehydrated food. We then place a packet of Oxygen Absorber on top of the food and seal the can. The cans are of the heaviest base weight metal available in the canning industry with an extra heavy electrolytic coating of tin plate or protection of the steel. To prevent rust and corrosion due to atmospheric conditions, food grade enamel is deposited on the tin plate.
