Food Bank Shocked After Someone Donates 46-Year-Old Can Of Soup

Heinz responded to the tweet, confirming that the rusted tin “should be in a museum” – because that particular soup was discontinued in 1982.

Wow! That soup was discontinued over 35 years ago. Should be in a museum rather than a food bank! 🙂

Some urged the food bank to auction off the retro soup can for charity:

Could be a collectors item and worth a fortune!!!!

Finally, the charity used the opportunity to remind people that when you’re donating food, always check that what you are giving is within the use-by date.

It's a record!! Never had a donation with 10d on before! Please could we remind everyone that food donated needs to be in date! Thank you 🙂 pic.twitter.com/EVf5qMulA6
