While tuna cans are convenient, they’re not meant for every kind of food. To stay safe:
- Avoid storing acidic foods such as tomatoes, citrus, or vinegar-based sauces. The acid can react with the metal and alter flavor.
- Never reuse cans that show sharp edges, rust, or dents.
- For long-term storage, transfer food into glass jars or airtight plastic containers after refrigeration.
By following these simple rules, you’ll ensure that your creative storage system remains safe and practical.
