Expert Answer:
The following observations can help us determine whether the food inside a sealed can is infected with microbes:
- A bulging can or lid or a broken seal
- A can or lid that shows signs of corrosion
- Food that has oozed or seeped under the jar’s lid
- Gas formation indicated by tiny bubbles moving upward in the jar or bubbles visible when you open the can
- Food that looks mushy, moldy or cloudy
- Food that gives off an unpleasant odour when you open the jar
- Spurting liquid from the can or jar when you open it
