Canned foods can swell for two reasons. The first only happens to cans of acidic food such as tomatoes or citrus fruit. The acid in the food attack and dissolve the metal lining of the can. This causes hydrogen gas to develop which swells the sealed can.
Poorly processed food is the second reason a can swells. If food is not properly sterilized some dangerous microorganisms can be left behind. The microorganisms thrive in the can, which causes the food to spoil and gives off carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide causes the can to swell.
