It’s scary to make a food judgement call. No one wants to waste food needlessly during a time of scarcity and we of course don’t want to sicken our family during an already trying time. Listen to your instincts – they know food better than your brain does. Canned foods can be especially daunting if they are past their expiration dates. Here are some moments that should raise an instinctual red flag: Don’t eat foods from cans that are swollen, dented or corroded, even thought they product may look safe to eat Don’t eat any food that looks or smells abnormal, event if the can looks normal. Refer to the Ready.Gov or the CDC for additional food safety guidelines.
