canned goods
Shelf-stable provisions
Canned goods are food products preserved in sealed metal containers—vegetables, fruits, soups, meats, and fish being the most common.
The canning process uses heat to kill bacteria, allowing shelf life measured in years rather than days.
Stock up on canned goods for emergencies.
The term occasionally extends to any prepackaged, ready-made content: The speech was full of canned goods from the campaign's talking points.
