Wow....I learned something here.. I always heard not to buy dented cans but never gave it second thought if it appeared to be sealed or without a hole... Never bothered to understand why.
Especially if a supermarket has something like tomato sauce on sale...like 10 cans for $10 etc...I just load em in the cart without looking... I'll be on the lookout from now on...

Here is one from Del Monte.
http://www.delmonte.com/Answers/ Q:Is it safe to eat food from a dented or swollen can?A:Dents along the side panel of the can (away from the seam) will not affect the contents of the can. Never purchase or consume a product when there are dents on the side seam or the end seams. If cans are swollen or leaking, we recommend that they be destroyed. Should you have any doubts about the safety of any food, you should not consume it. I have always and will continue to bypass dented cans. To back up Kevin....here is an article about chemical reaction. http://www.extension.umn.edu/info-u/...ion/BJ642.html and a helpful pdf file http://www.foodlinkny.org/pdf/Nutrit...an_safety1.pdf ---AND for grins --- Britany's place cited... http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/nyla1.html

I had an order come in yesterday including a case of ketchup in #10 cans. The thing looked like it had been through a car crusher.
I just could'nt believe the guy (substitute driver) had the gall to even bring it in off the truck. Sent the whole case back! Really needed it though. |

I don't think that I have ever seen a can of tomato paste that wasn't dented.  Around our neighborhood, I see dented cans all of the time in the stores.

A dented can could lead you down a "runny" road as well....

No dented, damaged cans ,period. Not worth the risk. Now if all food vendors would agree.

Kitch was the dent there before or after you opened it? Also how many did you have before you realized the dent?
