My grandmother used to can huge amounts of stuff from her garden and orchard. Although she put dates on the jar lids she would only throw it away if the color was off. She said that she'd been doing it since the 1910's and she hadn't killed anyone by the 1960's so her method must have worked. The only lasting effect for me is that I still don't like canned peas
