Cans or glass jars with metal lid can get rusted if not used properly i.e. touched by wet hands or spoon & when rust will be deep enough, tiny holes open in the can or lid may let spoilage agents in & will spoil the food. That's why we should avoid water contact from can.
There is no Way you can avoid Water Contact with a Can in the Frig. It is a Moisture rich area. It may be alright I guess. I would not eat it. I would rather throw it away than take a Gamble with my Life. I think my Life is more important than a Can of Cheese. To me it is all about Priorities. This is the last I have to say on the Subject. Everyone have a happy and Prosperous New Year!
God Bless!

I'm not familiar with that brand of cheese,but I had food poison once from eating sliced sandwich cheese a few days past the exp. date. It was not a pleasant experience,I was admitted to the hospital,spent a few days there and even after going home I had to stay on a soft diet for a few more days to pamper my stomach,so I'd never chance eating old cheese again!

Yes, your 7 yr old can of cheese will be fine. Expect that it will have shrink a bit in the can, there may be a little clear liquid and you may find some crunchy crystals in the cheese (a harmless milk protein crystal).
To the lady who got food poisoning from a cheese sandwich; it wasn't the cheese that made you sick, but the (most likely fecal) contamination on the hands of the person who made the sandwich. A few hours at room temperature and those food-borne pathogens grow nicely.
Also, botulism (from the concerns in another post)is very unlikely to contaminate food in your refrigerator. It is largely found in dirt and requires an airless environment to grow; not the normal situation found in the home fridge.
I was head cheesemaker at the Washington State University Creamery for a number of years, and can assure anyone that WSU produces world class cheeses to the highest standards.
Cougar Gold, vacuum-sealed in cans and keep under refrigeration, just like wine, will continue to mature and become more delicious with the years.
Cheese, in any event is a very safe food. Its a LIVING food, because the lactic acid producing bacteria which turn the milk into cheese (similar to the organisms which change cabbage to saurkraut and grape juice into wine) make a very unfriendly environment for most food-borne pathogens. If the ingredients in the cheese were safe to start with, the cheese will remain safe throughout its life.
Just make sure you wash your hands after going to the bathroom before making that cheese sandwich...

I made the cheese sandwich and my hands were clean thank you!! The doctor said the kind of food poison I had was from a dairy product and that was the only dairy product I'd had.
