[pct-l] Dehydrating canned chicken/tuna

[dicentra]

I am going to give you three answers. :)

1. USDA says to store dried foods in the freezer for up to 6 months.
 
2. I store my dried chicken at room temperature in glass canning jars. Use within one year. (I mix it 50/50 with TVP but that is for cost not storage) 
 
3. Warner Springs Monty is still eating meals (with all kinds of various dried ingredients) that I made for him 2-3 years previous. They are in regular (not ziplock) bags, stored at room temperature.
 
I hope that helps.

I bought an Excalibur dehydrator a couple weeks ago and have been experimenting with it. 

One thing I can't find a straight answer on is drying canned tuna or chicken.  Once it is dehydrated and placed in a vacuum sealed bag, how long is it good for at room temperature?  Is it a few days or will it keep several months like vegetables will?
