A member asked:
Can you eat diced tomatoes from a can with out warming it up? will it give you some food bourne illness?

Yes: The process of canning eliminates bacteria and other pathogens so you can eat it right out of the can if you prefer. If the can top is swollen or there is evidence of rust or leakage, then discard the can.

Yes you can: The canning process eliminates bacteria. Unless home-processed - then questions may exist.
