Dented cans might be on a good sale but that doesn’t mean you should take advantage of the lower price. Cans are made with a tight seal that causes swelling if there are harmful germs inside (such as botulism). If a can is dented, especially large dents or ones on the seal, then it can no longer swell and there can be some very dangerous bacteria inside. Select cans that are in good condition when at the grocery store.
