It's easy for people to get a little worked up over the coronavirus pandemic. if you have amassed a cache of tinned foodstuff and are wondering if storing these goods in the freezer could extend their shelf life, the short answer is it doesn't make a difference.
The idea behind buying canned foods is that it shouldn't be frozen to keep it from spoiling
Canned foods will last long past the "Best by, Sell by, Use by" date that is on the can. Notice that it doesn't say "expiration date".
Keeping canned foods in a cool, dry location will be tops. If any cans are dented or damaged in any way either throw them away or use them (as long as the can is not bulging or leaking). If stored properly, they will last a long time.
If for some unknown reason you want to freeze these items you will have to remove the food from the can and transfer it to a zip top bag or other airtight container. Leave room for expansion (this is why you can not freeze the food directly in the can it was processed in).
