Be smart and avoid the problem.

The bug is anerobic, but produces gas as it grows.

If the can/jar has a “bubble” on the top/lid, DON’T EAT IT.

Also, let your nose rule. If it smells bad, DON’T EAT IT.

Thanks. I had read that it produces gas and will cause cans to bulge.

Over the years, very rarely, I have opened older cans of stuff (professionally canned) that have had bulges and promptly thrown it away.

Kimchee excluded, of course.... ;-)
