Does Canned Chickpeas Go Bad?
Yes, canned chickpeas can go bad. The expiration date on the can should be checked before consumption. If the can is bulging, rusted, or dented, or if the chickpeas have an off color, smell, or taste, they should not be consumed. To extend the shelf life of canned chickpeas, they should be stored in a cool, dry place and consumed within a few days of opening the can.
