Guidelines for Canned Food Safety |
|
|
- Buy cans that look perfect – free of dents, cracks or bulging lids, which may indicate a serious food poisoning threat. Dusty cans or torn labels may indicate old stock.
- Don’t taste or use canned foods that show any signs of spoilage, like a bulging lid or leaking can. When you open the can, look for other signs, such as spurting liquid, an unpleasant smell or mould. Spoiled canned foods must be discarded so that they cannot be eaten by humans or pets.
- Once cans are opened, the leftover contents should be placed in a clean, covered plastic or glass container and stored in the fridge. Do not store food in an opened metal can as tin and iron will dissolve from the can walls and the food may develop a metallic taste. Tin contamination could result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever or headaches.
- Keep canned goods dry to prevent can or metal lids from rusting, which may cause cans to leak and food to spoil.
