Doesn’t have the screw lid thing but the lid is sealed and doesn’t pop. Sorry, I do not know the correct terms.

    Texas flooding. Got it at a relief camp that is passing out supplies. I only want to know if there are obvious signs of spoilage. Thanks.

    The ring ( screw piece) is supposed to be removed once the jars are cool so that’s a good sign. Same with the centre of the top being down.

    Any discolouration or funny smells upon opening is a bad sign. When you open it you should hear a slight air whoosh sound indicating it was adequately sealed

    I’d say the biggest risk is trusting that the person who canned it did it right. If it’s still sealed, pops when you open it, doesn’t smell weird, and it tastes noticably acidic, you’re probably safe from botulism at least.
