Canned Food
Despite the long storage period of canned foods, they should not be
consumed frequently as they are usually high in sodium, sugar or fat. Before
consumption, check the expiry date and see if there is any broken seal or
bulging. Upon opening of the can, drain the salt water, syrup or oil inside to
decrease the sodium, sugar and fat content of the food. Then transfer the food
to a container as the interior coating of the can, which serves to reduce the
chemical reaction between the can and the food inside, will be oxidised upon
contact with air and lead to food spoilage.
