Canning process kills germs by heating them up then the cans are sealed airtight to prevent introduction of new germs or organisms as well as to remove all oxygen to prevent oxidation which is another way food goes off, and since the cans are solid and can’t be seen through your don’t have to worry about UV rays impacting the food.

What you call “spoiling” is basically the poop of bacteria. It gets on food, it eats the food and multiplies, and poops out toxins. This is why even if you full cook spoiled food youll get sick if you eat it, because the toxins aren’t alive and dont die when you cook it.
So, when you can, there are going to be a small amount of bacteria on the food to start, but not nearly enough to make you sick. When you can, you heat up the inside enough to kill any bacteria, then you seal the can, so new bacteria cant get inside.
So even after 5 years, there’s still no bacteria in the can, and so the food will till be good.

Bacteria growth is predicated on the fact that there is bacteria present.
If you have 1 atom of bacteria in a canned good, it can multiply over time. That’s what causes dented or swollen cans.
If you have 0 atoms of bacteria in a canned good, 0 multiplies into 0. You can’t have bacteria grow if there is no bacteria.
When goods are canned, they are cooked in a such a way that attempts to eliminate all of the bacteria. This isn’t 100% effective, but that’s the point of a shelf life. The few cans that do still have bacteria don’t have enough bacteria to multiply into a harmful amount by the shelf life. However, after that shelf life, the vast majority of the cans that have no bacteria in them will still be safe to eat.
