Canned food is a must-have in most households, not only because it can be stored for months or even years, but also a simple way to make high-quality, ready-to-eat vegetables, fruits, and fish meat into delicious food. According to the food website Mashed, although eating cans are simple, many people may make a key, potentially dangerous error when using them: they did not clean the cans before opening them.
Mashed pointed out that this is very important because the cans are produced from factory to supermarket shelves, and then to consumers' homes. It is impossible not to be a little dusty during this period. Although the food in the can is protected, the top of the can may contact various soil, dust, dirt and other unhealthy substances, leaving harmful microorganisms and bacteria. Once the can open, these bacteria and microorganisms will enter the food and bring about disease.
It is also very simple to clean the can head. Mashed said that you just need to wipe the can with a clean napkin, towel or disinfectant towel, and it will be done in a few seconds. If there is obvious dirt or dirt on the jar, wash it again with gentle soapy water.
Wipping the top of the can is important for the safety of the can't food. It is far beyond many other common suggestions, such as not storing the open can in the refrigerator. This is just one of many common misconceptions about canned food, including the thoughts of throwing away the sunken canned heads; in fact, only those dents that are too big to fit into your fingers need to be thrown away.
Mashed pointed out that remembering this simple wipe of the door can ensure that all cans are safe and convenient, and you can enjoy various canned food with confidence.
