Best Answer

If any of the seals of the can has been damaged, air and/or bacteria could have gotten into the food. Low acid canned foods are protected because of being packaged and cooked in a hermetically sealed container. Once the seal is broken, bacteria could grow in the food.

If the can was just dented - as you just dropped it on the floor - you could open it and use it.

You can use the food if the can is slightly dented and shows no signs of leaking or swelling, and appears to be wholesome.

Do not use the food if the can is badly dented, dented on the seams or rim, or shows signs of leaking or swelling.

As long as the can hasn't ruptured, it is fine. Listen for the seal breaking when you open the can, and if you hear it, the soup is safe.

Damaged food cans, if the damage has caused tiny openings in the can, often contain food poisoning.
