Re: Dented cans.
Intend to use such items quickly, as the damage might allow miniscule cracks for air (bacteria) to get inside.
If any can has even the slighted bulge at the ends, toss it. After opening, if the product has even the slightest unpleasant odor, toss it. If the opened can has small bubbles at the top of the liquid, probably toss it. Your life worth more than an 80¢ can of goods.
