expired water chestnuts

I have a can of water chestnuts with an exp. date of 4/26/2011. A year past exp. Are they safe to eat? Thanks.

    Unless the can looks suspect in some way (rusty, bulging, etc.), they'll be fine.

    Been there, done that. :)

      Perfectly fine.

        I would discard, unless you've already consumed. These are so affordable in my area, I wouldn't take the chance. Just my two cents.

          They should be fine.

          Unless the can is bulging or squirts water when you open it. In that case, discard.
