[#Steeven.™]

Some signs can give us clues about whether the packaged food is spoiled

The preserves are increasingly present in our day to day. Lack of time and our fast pace of life have made it common for many to turn to canned food. Vegetables, meat, fish, prepared dishes ... There are many foods that we can find packed in cans and jars.

Food packaged in cans and cans is a fast, simple and economical way, and they also allow to be stored for long periods of time, hence the secret of its success.

However, these types of foods can carry some risks if they are in bad condition. The problem is that due to their characteristics it is not easy to know if they have been damaged and, therefore, if they can make us feel bad.

A food stored in a jar or a can has the ideal conditions to be kept in good condition for longer than a fresh food. The fact of being presented in hermetic and vacuum-sealed containers after undergoing a thermal process guarantees the destruction of microorganisms and possible pathogens. In addition, the quality controls to which all preserves are subjected minimize possible risks.

However, sometimes these products can also go bad, due to possible errors in handling, transport or storage, for example. For this reason, it is important to know how to identify when a preserve is in poor condition.

Although these are not infallible tricks, there are certain signs that can make us think that a preserve is not in its optimal condition. If so, avoid the risks and don't eat it.

- When we open a bottle we should feel resistance in the container cap and hear the typical 'plof'. If not, it may be a sign that the product is bad.

- We must also be very cautious if we observe that the liquid is cloudy

- Do not eat food that is in a bulky container

- Reject cans that show dings, dents, rust and, of course, perforations, as they may have compromised the integrity of the hermetic seal.

- Beware of cans whose lid moves (making the typical 'click clack' noise

- Do not trust a product that, when opened, releases a lot of air or liquid under pressure

- Pay attention to your sight and smell. If the food of a food is suspicious to you, heal yourself and do not eat it. Nor if you notice that it smells bad or gives off a strange smell.

- Be very careful with consuming a product in which we observe bubbles after being opened, as it can indicate the presence of bacteria. The same happens if we see foam.

- It is normal to perceive a soft hiss when we open a can, but it is not so if this hiss is sharp and loud.
