🥫 CANNED FOODs & DENTED CANs & FOOD SAFETY IN DR

[rey]

Question :

So I always send my cleaning lady to do my groceries shopping however yesterday on my road trip to el Cibao I stopped at a supermarket in el cibao to make groceries shopping for the villa I was gonna stay ; Now in the states 🇺🇸 when I purchase CANNED FOODs 🥫 I always go out of my way to look for cans that are in perfect conditions and with NO Dents , and when i do find canned goods that are dented or damage or with a bulge I tell the manager that they need to throw them away and the managers always Do complies and take them them Off the shelf …. However when I try doing that yesterday, The Manager at the supermarket said “pero eso ta bueno “eso NO e na” “oigan pero ta nuevo “ “eso e dinero “…. In fact he said he never had anyone ask him to throw away a DENTED CANs unless it’s 90% crush at the minimum !





My question is : IS IT COMMON PRACTICE to NOT throw away and continue to sell canned foods even if they are DENTED cans in supermarkets and Colmados in DR ? OR was this an isolated bad experienced that happened to me ?

What you might have missed is that the minute your back was turned the "manager" put it right back on the shelf.
lol.
Anyway...
I have a can of coconut milk that is not only past its best before date but...
is also leaking black guck.
The question:
Should I or shouldn't I use it for my coconut rice and shrimp dish this evening?

NOTHING wrong with a dented can...... NOTHING !!!!

I had pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Now I might have a nap

 

[Jan]

I have an idea. If you don't like the can don't buy the can. Making a fuss over it jn DR just makes you look like a gringo fool

 

[PCMike]

All I can say is, Rey...why are you living here?

 

[Fulano2]

Rey, why don’t you ask for a discount?

Boring is you. You are boring. Now back to your boring post...The shop keeper is right. Nothing wrong with them. You are the only one that sticks his fat gringo finger into the pie and THAT makes food safety in the DR unsafe. I'd rather eat a crushed can of pig knuckles that had grey grease oozing out of it than to listen to your investigating of "Food Safety " in the DR.
Hope you understand now my comments on "Boring". Dat's Boring with a capital B.

Don't listen to him. The blacker the guck the better. Thats the live culture eating away at the bad stuff. When it turns coal black put it in a food processor and using as a topping to your monfongo. Don't mind Rey he just need attention.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dented cans. Bulging at the top or bottom may be a different story. I can't even begin to count how many times I have prepared something from a dented can. Again, much ado about nothing.

If rey wants to complain about dented cans, he clearly needs to find another place to live.

The answer to your question is a "YES, IT IS COMMON PRACTICE" in capital letters.

I'll admit I do leave the dented can if there's an undented one, but I wouldn't expect a store to just toss out every dented can. Just imagine how high prices would be if that happened.

 

[JD Jones]

WAIT! What about CANS with the label MISSING? Do we HAVE TO WORRY about THAT/THOSE?

 

[Gadfly]

Dented cans are cans, too. Don’t be so prejudiced.
