A member asked:

Hi, i ate canned spaghetti and it was really dented. im feeling okay a couple of hours later but someone told me you can get sick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dents vs bulges: A dented can is simply traumatized & there is little reason to consider it "tainted". However, if you encounter any canned goods that bulge it is likely germs inside are creating a gas that has pressurized the can to make it bulge. These can make you sick. Canned foods are good until their use by date & sometimes longer. You should always check this date & the appearance for bulges before using.
