Are Foods In Dented Cans Safe. I ordered a 12 pack of Whole Earth Farms Chicken and Turkey Recipe canned food from Amazon. Cracked jars or jars with loose or bulging lids.
It does however depend on the condition the packaging is in and the food contained inside. Some dented cans of food may be perfectly safe. The Food Safety and Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture USDA says this.
Some dented cans of food may be perfectly safe.
To address this question we have to know a little about the canning process. Eating food from dented cans can be safe as long as the dent is small not on the rims or seam and does not expose the contents of the can to the outside air. It does however depend on the condition the packaging is in and the food contained inside. The general consensus is that its safe to buy food from dented packaging.
