If the can is dented at all, toss. if completely intact, eat. 6 AM on a Saturday and you're organizing stockpile?  |

As DF said, the shape of the can matters. I found a can of fruit that had completely expanded. I wanted to open it and see what science experiment was going on it there, but I decided to toss it. Could have just been fermentation and the production of CO2 or it could have been botulism. Figured I didn't really need to know which.

if the can was dented, even a little bit, the lining of the can is compromised and the chemicals in the lining (like BPA) are leaching into the food. this is especially bad with acidic products like tomatoes. So even if it smells ok, it's still not good for you.

As I read the title of this thread I thought, that would be a good name for a new reality game show. LOL

LOL -- the Healthy Choice soup all went to the food pantry back in 2009 because no one here would eat it. So I'd toss it on general principles  |
