How long can I keep cooked sausages for? I cooked them this evening?

Freeze them if you do not plan to eat them soon.

I eat cold beans but never tried the tinned spag cold!

It's all cooked and should be pretty germ free (thanks to the heat involved in the processes) so I can't see any reason why it would be a problem.

If it was unsafe to eat then the label would probably say something about ensuring it is heated thoroughly prior to eating it (like raw chicken product labels do).

The food itself shouldn't be a problem if it's already cooked.

The bisphenol A (BPA) that Heinz uses in its baked beans and other canned goods is a much bigger health risk. Most food cans are lined with BPA.

Here's an article I found regarding Heinz baked beans and other Heinz canned goods:
Heinz Admits Lining Its Cans With Endocrine-Disrupting 'Sex Chemical'

Safe to eat cold beans & Spaghetti out of the tin?

I'd have thought so. Otherwise we'd be knee deep in dead students.

That's exactly what I was going to add :T

It's safe. If you're a student, it's compulsory.

You clearly need to get them out of the BPA lined can as quickly as possible.
