Tinned ravioli is healthy in moderation, although tinned ravioli is high in sodium and high in calories and is a processed food that can be unhealthy when eaten in excess.

Tinned or canned ravioli is a processed food and is high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber.

The high amounts of sodium in tinned or canned ravioli can contribute to kidney disease, stroke, heart disease and high blood pressure.

As long as you only eat the tinned or canned ravioli in moderation and eat other healthier foods it's okay to eat tinned or canned ravioli and other processed foods.

Canned ravioli can go bad, although as long as the canned ravioli remains sealed and the can is in good shape and not bulging, leaking or rusty the canned ravioli can remain safe to eat for 5 years or longer past expiration date although the taste may change.

Once opened the canned ravioli will last for around 3 days to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Canned ravioli is a processed food as it has added sugar, salt and preservatives to keep it from going bad while sealed in the can.

Processed foods are foods that contain added preservatives which help to extend the shelf life and protect it against harmful bacteria.

Canned ravioli is good for 5 years or more even past it's expiration date as long as the can remains sealed and is not leaking, bulging or rusty.

While the canned ravioli will taste best before expiration it's still safe to eat the canned ravioli and many other canned foods well past their expiration date.

Just make sure the can is in good shape and not leaking, bulging or rusty and make sure the canned food smells good.

Processed foods are not the healthiest due to the preservatives, non natural ingredients, sodium and additional sugar and fat content although they are healthy when consumed in moderation.

Other processed foods are microwave dinners, frozen pizza, deli meat, chips, crackers, cake mixes, yogurt, salad dressing.

Foods with ingredients added for flavor and texture which include added sweeteners, spices, oils, food coloring's etc are all processed foods.
