Is it safe to store an opened tin of baked beans in fridge?

[Ghostedxoxo]

I remember being violently ill several times as a student after eating beans that had been stored in an opened can in the fridge. My daughter thinks this is nuts and that it is perfectly safe to store opened tins in the fridge!

Who is right? Is it safe to put an opened can of baked beans in fridge and not bother putting contents into a plastic container? I have googled this, but can't seem to find any definitive rules.

I have done it but found I didn't like the taste next day :) a bit ...metallic.

Oh and I ate them anyway and still lived.

I thought it wasn't safe, something to do with changes in the can once opened. We keep empty margarine tubs for this sort of thing.

I put a lid on the tin, and usually eat the beans within 2 orb3 days anyway.
