Anyone ever seen these white dots on canned salmon?

[Rain City]

None of the other jars look like this. Anyone ever seen it? Those are capers on top.

It could just be the fats /proteins, but I probably wouldn’t eat it, I make quite a bit of canned salmon and that looks a little off.
I had a couple snap lids that popped off easy, didn’t quite seal good enough a couple batches ago and ended up sacrificing them. It doesn’t feel good to do that after putting in the effort, but better then hugging the toilet.

Go for it!
Clean up any lingering issues you may have been exposed to at the boat show.

I did have one close encounter there, you're right. Lol

 

[ship happens]

Was the lid tightly glued down?

 

[Stizzla]

I wouldn’t eat that and I eat just about anything (as my wife can attest to)

 

[Rain City]

Was the lid tightly glued down?

Yes. Smells fine.

 

[ship happens]

Yes. Smells fine.

It's gotta be fat then. Stop catching so many fat fish Jon.

Looks like regular albumin you see on cooked salmon.

Yeah definitely not. It's more like sugar granules all over the place.

 

[Hardy Guy]

Looks like fat to me. Lid was tight should be fine.

That's what I figured too. I just found it odd that none of the other jars had any of this. Just the normal amount of albumin. You can see it clearly on the capers, where as the othe ones, the capers were dark and green, like capers should look.

When are you having your tonsils removed?

 

[Rain City]

When are you having your tonsils removed?

Ew

 

[Wondermur]

Yes. Smells fine.

(That’s what Stizzla said)

 

[CRGreg]

Throw it out. Not 100% sure but looks like precursors to botulism and not worth the risk

[somewhereman]

it looks like a mold (botulism is invisble and odorless, + they don't form colonies like this, but as a precursor of spoilage that could lead to it, yes)

something was contaminated somewhere in the process (maybe not a fully sealed/sanitized lid if none of the others are like this)

it probably will not result in your demise, but it may induce vomiting and seizures

depending on your ingredients in the jar the smell may not be noticeable, but will become apparent the more it is exposed
like when they open you up and suddenly you have cancers growing

 

[Hardy Guy]

Yeah .... free canned salmon to go with thecfree craft beer.

It's currently being used as bait in a rat trap. Need to switch it up once in a while...

 

[Hardy Guy]

Nice. Try some craft beer in the trap and you can catch a rat with a touqe, flannel shirt and blunstones.
