The danger of canned food is under-processing and damaged cans.
Under-processing means that not all the bacteria were killed off. The bacteria that are left can grow and spoil the food or produce deadly toxins. Unfortunately, food that contains the botulinum toxin is not necessarily obviously spoiled.
Improper sealing, poor storage conditions and bad handling can all affect the integrity of the can itself. If the seals are compromised, bacteria can enter the can and grow.
