Botulism
What disease is caused by food that is improperly canned?
The most notable is botulism, which is caused by a toxin produced by a soil bacterium, Clostridium botulinum.This appears most frequently when commerical cans of food are rusted, dented or damaged, and in home canning. It is also found in honey. The normal cooking process may not destroy all of the spores.Medically, botulinum toxin (botox) is used for deliberate muscle paralysis in cosmetic surgery.
How poisonous is botulism?
I don't really think it's contagious, I think it's just something you can get from dented cans.

Steel cans are coated with tin (a less reactive metal) to prevent a chemical reaction so nothing will happen to a dented steel can if there are baked beans which are acidic in it.
Is it safe to eat soup from dented soup cans?
If any of the seals of the can has been damaged, air and/or bacteria could have gotten into the food. Low acid canned foods are protected because of being packaged and cooked in a hermetically sealed container. Once the seal is broken, bacteria could grow in the food.
Do grocery stores give discounts on damaged containers?
Many stores have a place near the back of the store where dented cans are sold, usually at a big discount.
How do you know if a can is bad?
If the can is dented, rusted, or if the top is rounded it may be spoiled. If you open the can and you don't hear a puff of air, it might be spoiled. When in doubt don't eat food from damaged cans.

Why are expiry dates placed on cans?
Because cans seems are or where sealed by lead. The lead, after a time, contaminated the contents. This caused food poisoning.
Why shouldn't you buy dented cans?
You may be infected with botchulism. Botchulism is food poisoning that one may get from eating food out of a damaged can. The issue of dented cans goes back many years to the original idea. The concept was that a can kept food fresh as the can was airtight. However, in recent years (about 25) it was discovered that the weld on the sides of cans were made of a lead based solder. If the can became damaged particles of the solder entered the cans content and of course this was ingested by the users. This gave rise to lead poisoning at the very worst or high levels of lead in the blood at the very least. Manufacturers were forced by law to make changes to the sealing compounds used. This issue of denting as already stated gave rise to questions on the quality of the product in the can and the chances of cross contamination. Retailers and manufacturers do claim that dented tins are not an issue, these are just very unsightly. However, punctured containers are and should not be used as the contents have been exposed to the sir and the condition of that product is reduced substantial.
