How long should honey still be good if left in a unopened can? What are the signs if it's no longer safe?

This is excellent reading about honey and its shelf life.

If it is 100% pure honey it has a indefinite shelf life. If the honey has anything else in it like high fructose corn syrup( read the ingredients ) it should have a expiration date because of additives. A lot of companies like to slip it in and still call it pure honey.
Even if the honey is in a previously opened container (of course lid on to keep from drying out) as long as the only ingredient stated is honey it will be safe, tasty and fresh far, far beyond our lifetime ;-) I actually had a PB and honey sammie a couple of days ago and I've had that previously opened store brand honey in my cabinet that was originally opened almost three years ago ;-)
Don't buy honey that is cut with anything and please buy only US honey. You don't know what is in honey from other places. Find a local bee keeper and get it from there.
Honey lasts for a really long time. I just read somewhere that it pretty much lasts forever. I think it was an article on mothernaturenetwork.com
