Warning Unsafe Canned Foods...How To Know If Food Is Safe To Eat hi it's AlaskaGranny
Alaska Prepper here we go again look at this can of pears you can see that it is bulging
is this safe to eat the answer is absolutely not this is one of the reasons you need to
make sure that you continue to inspect and monitor your food storage stockpile your prepper
Pantry foods to make sure that they're still safe good and okay to eat do it regularly
because if something like this had gone on a little longer it could have absolutely exploded
I've had cans explode before and luckily this one did not but it is definitely not safe
to eat you can see that it is about one and a half years past the best by date so yes
I should have rotated it but sometimes we don't I like to have some canned fruit on
hand but I don't always get around to eating it simply because it's not my favorite thing
to eat and it's also quite expensive to replace the canned fruits one of the new strategies
for canned fruit is when they get close to the date I like to dehydrate them I have a
magic meal dehydrator now and it works great I have done quite a bit of different kinds
of fruit that were either expired or about to expire and they all turned out fantastic
in the Magic Mill food dehydrator I'll put a link to that video in case you're interested
in dehydrating fruits Magic Mill yourself to make sure that you can stretch the longevity
of the food that you have you can see this can has a pull tab but guess what it didn't
pop and you can see that the bottom of the can is just trying to get ready to blow and
there's even some strange looking dark spots on here so maybe something is already leaked
out here's another can of pears I bought it the exact same time and you can see this can
is still looks fine you can look it over you can see there's no bulging there is a dent
because they simply aren't making the cans as sturdy as they used to but everything looks
okay nothing looks wrong on the outside let's go ahead and open it and inspect it to make
sure this one is okay it seems okay but we never know open can of pears
nothing spurted it looks normal it smells fine I'm going to pour it out in a bowl and
inspect it further
it looks fine they're a little soft but they're canned pears so sometimes canned pears are
just that way everything looks okay smells all right so I guess they pass inspection
it's time to enjoy some canned pears
oh yeah they're good and if for any reason you have any suspicions that food is not okay
throw it out don't risk your health over a dollar's worth of food so make sure that you're
buying foods that you're actually willing to eat rotate and replace and that's how you're
going to have the most success with your prepper Pantry it's a working pantry you should be
working your way through it and then continuing to add your stockpile so that you'll have
enough going forward because we don't know what the future holds and having enough food
on hand is always going to be a benefit in my book if you've had any experiences where
food's not lasting in your pantry leave it in the comments so we can get tips from each
other on things that we should be looking for and inspecting so that we can make sure
the food we have is lasting and that it's safe if you enjoyed my video I hope you'll
