Tasting Canned
Food Dangerous

Winter being the canned food season
on the farm, as well as the time when
canned products are used most extern
sively by the urban housewife, Miss
IneZ Hobart, extension specialist in
nutrition, University Farm, issues a
timely warning regarding the impor-
lance of making sure that such foods
are in good condition before using.
She especially advises against tasting
canned products to determine whether
or not they are spoiled because of the
danger from botulinus poisoning
Spoilage in canned foods may usual
ly be detected by inspecting the cans
before they are opened, and also OBJ
serving what happens when the lid is
removed. Before opening, tin cans
should be examined TO see that both
ends are flat or curved slightly in
ward. Neither end should bulge, snap
back when pressed, or feel loose. All
seams should be tight and clean, with
no trace of leaks. In glass cans, the
covers should be firm, flat or concave,
with seam, rubber ring and label clean
and free from all signs of leaks.
When cans are opened, suction in
ward is a desirable indication. No
'outrush of gas or squirt of liquid
should occur The odor. observed i'm
mediately. should be characteristic of
the product, with no trace of foreign
or Objectionable odors present No
disintegration, no mold or other alb
normal appearance should be observed
The inside of a tin can should be
clean and bright, or well lacquered,
not extensively blackened or markedly
-corroded.
Home-canned foods known to be
spoiled should be destroyed. but those
that have been purchased may be re-
turned to the store, when replacements
will be made. Commercial canning

cally without exception are anxious
