Is storing can goods in fridge bad?
The only times it is necessary to refrigerate canned goods is when you need to prechill the ingredients (like canned tuna for tuna salad) or if the ambient storage is too warm (~100°F) where surviving thermophilic bacteria could start to grow.The bad thing about storing cans in a fridge would be that steel cans could start to rust since a refrigerator can be humid. Or moving cans in and out of a cooler would permit condensation on the can which could result in rust and pitting.
