Not that we need another example of why you should be careful of who’s canned food you’re eating…
The amount of people agreeing in the comments was concerning. As if the lack of rings was the problem, and not whatever the heck is going on with the onions

Omg I just saw this! I don’t know how it doesn’t occur to people that the food actually went bad because it was improperly processed. Rings are not the thing that seals the jar, but it will potentially keep a lid that has popped up sealed.
P.S. I think they’re apples but still. I don’t know how someone messes up that badly 🤨

don’t worry just cook the onions and they will be perfectly safe to eat /s

(and yes someone told me something like this once about a jar that didn’t seal and was left on a shelf for 5 years)

The scary thing is that the lesson learned was to never take the rings off. I wonder if the pressure could build up enough to make the jar explode.

I mean-I’m a not very experience canner AT ALL-and I know it ain’t about the rings, lol. Scary stuff

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if this happens then they weren’t sealed correctly and leaving the rings on would create a false seal. Right?

Nit leaving the rings on wasn’t the problem . If you had left the rings on the jars would have eventually broken . Your issue was in the process some where .

All the revolting and scary reality of this post aside, do most of you take the rings off after the process to prevent the illusion of a false seal? I have a friend who always removes the ring after the process, wondering if that’s a common practice.

I bet this was from the notorious oven canners. The onions wouldn’t be that stiff if pressure canned

I’m having trouble figuring out what they canned because the contents and foam do not look appetizing.
If I’m understanding it correctly, they’ve been using an unsafe practice for years or decades and the only thing keeping the jars from doing this is bands holding the spoilage in place.
