I think we're on our 3rd year canning now. Never seen this in our pickles before. The seal was still good, we opened two jars. My wife says it smells ever so faintly like it fermented, but I couldn't say.

    We’ll need some more information here. What recipe did you use, what method did you use to can, and how long were these in storage or in the fridge? From there we can start to figure out what happened.

    This is terrifying. As others have said – please toss these, and any that have been made this way. Follow a safe and tested recipe, including processing for the proper times, or make these for the fridge only. Keep your family safe
