I try to avoid cans that are dented near the top or bottom edges, as it is more likely that a seal would have been compromised if the can was hit in those areas. <br /><br />Avoiding all dented cans, though, may be more of a quality issue than a safety one. A banged up can may signal that the food inside is all mashed up...and presentation may count, depending on what sort of food it is!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793348534669527262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32465905.post-49392241904854271082010-01-25T17:33:25.814-05:002010-01-25T17:33:25.814-05:00Melanie!

This sucks - and I had no idea of the risks associated with kidney beans.<br /><br />I will however, point out that most dented cans are perfectly safe to eat. Only worry about cans that are punctured (you may be able to tell when opening it if it was punctured or not - if it was punctured you won't be breaking a seal) or bulging.<br /><br />Your brother,<br /><br />Daniel<br />Any bulging can - even it's just bulging a little - however, should immediately be thrown out. If the dent is particularly large it might be hard to tell if it's "bulging" or not, so the paranoid might throw it out - but small dents? I wouldn't worry about it.<br /><br />I'm glad you're getting better, and hope it's all upward from here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32465905.post-32474800034128845282010-01-25T16:20:00.674-05:002010-01-25T16:20:00.674-05:00There's a bright side to everything!
