Ok, I was just cooking some dhal with tomatoes and spinach. Went to open my tin of tomatoes (ring pull can) and it exploded in a spray like a shook-up can of coke. I put said tin in bin and pulled out another.
What could cause this? I know botulism makes the tin puffy but the tin was not puffy, had no holes nor rust, nor was that old. What do you reckon caused it?
They looked and smelt fine by the way. I'm not adverse to cutting a little bit of mould off a sweet potatoe but no way am I taking chances with exploding tins of fruit.
