One of the opened cans of soy got "misplaced" at the back of the wrong shelf, and wasn't discovered for about 2.5 - 3 years.
It had gotten a fair amount stronger due to some evap, but there was no growth of anything strange, or even leakage from the can. Try as I may to convince momma it was fine to use, even after decanting to a clear glass jar and cutting can top for inspection, I only got to use about 2 cups before she threw it away.
YMMV, especially in a plastic 5g bucket. ;-)
ETA: We don't use nearly enough of either of the above to justify buying those quantities any more.
Well, maybe the soy still...
