What to do if the jar is leaking

If the rolled up jar with blanks has flowed, then your conservation can still be saved by taking the following steps:

1. Check the quality of the seaming, perhaps the lid for seaming the conservation was not quite of high quality, or the tightness of its adhesion to the can during seaming was broken, especially when using a not very high-quality semiautomatic machine. In this case it is necessary to change the cover, if possible use a cover from another manufacturer.

2. Probably the problems of leaking banks were in the bank itself. It is necessary to check the neck of the jar for dryness and chips. If chips are found, pour the contents of the can into a container and replace the can.

3. Problems of can leakage may also arise due to poor-quality sterilization of the can and the lid during the closing of conservation. It is necessary to open the can, taste the preservation by smell and taste. If it is not spoiled, then pour the contents of the can into a container, sterilize the harvested product, re-sterilize the can and lid, and roll up the can. It is desirable to use high-quality seamer - automatic or at least semi-automatic.

Well, what to do if you find a leak and are not sure if the bank leaked 2 days ago or a month ago? Or if the seaming came from the wrong hands and you are not sure about the quality of the preservatives in the can? In these cases, and even more so if an unpleasant odor appears from a leaked can, it is necessary to discard the contents and not risk your health.
