Home canned food…that’s spoiled? 😞

Hi Achternaam,

Do you know how to recognize spoiled food? Sometimes it is obvious…sometimes not.

But it’s still nothing to be afraid of!

"Yes, I want to learn how to avoid spoiled food!"

Even if you’ve processed your food safely, you might have run into something called flat sour.

It’s that unappealing off-flavor – think a disagreeably sour or bitter taste of your canned goods. While it won’t harm you, flat sour can make your canned food very unappetizing. It is caused by a form of bacteria that withstands the canning process and is triggered by extended warmth when you leave jars in a canner for too long.

Read about canned goods tasting sour or bitter & why this happens.

Have a great day,
Sharon
