I eat lots of canned sardines and this brand frequently. It’s the first time I see this. Not sure if it’s safe to eat.

    Haven’t seen that before either, but I usually follow the rule of when in doubt, throw it out.

    I think that’s water stains from the canning process.

  3. Vintage sardines are a thing – I’d open that tin and eat it, since it doesn’t look like the tin’s integrity has been compromised

  4. It’s probably fine. I’m guessing the can got cold and condensed some moisture. The spots are where the air bubbles where.

    Considering I’m currently on the can for the 5th time today from food poisoning. Don’t fucking eat this, it’s not worth the risk

    I might give the can a rinse, but I’m eating the contents. It didn’t have any signs, to me, that indicates a problem.

    That Best Buy date looks like it says 2021, which is 4 years ago – pass.

    I’ve had several KO sardines with water spots like that. They’re not an issue.

    The date is though, so I’d bin that tin.

    Are you sure it’s not painted to look like ocean bubbles? That looks artistic to me.
