    ahhh green goop its safe as long as its safe but only one way to know if its safe

  2. cacanar

    Maybe try sharing the ingredients that are supposed to be in the tin, so people can provide an informed answer…

    As much as I love sardines, idk how I could get past this lol

  4. BreadKnifeSeppuku

    Probably green food algae or w/e left over from cleaning the fish. You could still eat it assuming there’s no smells etc and the can was undamaged etc.

    Fishy poop. Me personally I would not wat with this amount.

    Fecal matter. Any respectable brand will keep sardines in a holding tank until the digestive system is empty.

    Oh good god that’s nasty

    That’s a big sign that reads “If found, discard tin in trash bin!”

    Pesto of the sea. Aka shit

    what brand is this so we can avoid it?

  11. AiannaMuse

    Why not answer everyone asking what brand so we know what to avoid

    Omg that is horrifying. I didn’t know that could happen. What brand?

    It’s green for an amazing reason.

    How does that even end up in the tin? Don’t they gut them before they go in there?

  15. Medium-Bee7545

    You eat those and you’re worrying about the color?

  16. Responsible-Summer-4

    Dunno but wouldn’t eat that can.

    r/foodsafety for a serious answer

    I’m more freaked out about eating deenz with a spoon than I am by the actual deenz.

    OP is never going to eat sardines again lol. But in all honesty I swear I’ve seen the digestive tract full in a can before. So offputting. Chowed the fish down with some hot sauce and never had any effect on me, but I hope I never come across it again.

    You should contact the brand with this photo

    Uhhh you might want to contact the CDC lol. I would NOT eat it, if you did eat it.. 🫡 good luck OP

    Luckily for you you opened the tin in the daytime. Imagine if you did this at night 😳

  22. ExcitableSarcasm

    I can’t believe a comment section on r/CannedSardines isn’t just sycophantically chanting “down the hatch” when someone asks about something that looks questionable in a can of fish.

    There is hope.

    Animals eat entire fish hole.

    I this case it’s been pasteurized via canning, so at least the fish poop is ~~clean~~ free of pathogens.

    I have never seen that before. What brand is this?

  25. raindeer_6

    Ohh they added some guacamole for free! That brand really seems to love their customers.

  26. According_Safe_293

    Maybe it’s something that got added during the canning process; a preservative? machine gunk?, somebody’s finger? In any case, ew.

    And this is why I love Brunswick fillets
