Beans tin black inside, aibu to eat the contents?

[Chupchup]

Sorry, just a quickie, nothing on Google really. Two tins of beans are black inside, contents look and smell fine. Aibu to give the beans to the dc?

I wouldn’t.

I wouldn't - the concern is not that the beans will be off, but rather what extras are present in the sauce that have leeched in from the can if it looks like that.

I wouldn't either.

I have seen this happen before, always with tomato and tomato sauce based foods. It seems to be a sort of reaction between the food and can. I don't know what causes it though. If you have it in two tins bought at the same time, presumably from the same batch, there may have been a production issue.

The beans may have a metallic taste, as we had with some tinned tomatoes this happened with. We didn't finish eating them, but I have no idea if it is harmful or not.

I wouldn't, only because I don't think it would taste very pleasant!

Gutted! 2 multipacks worth. Was supposed to be a cheap dinner night!!!

No, I wouldn't eat them, looks as though there has been an acid reaction in the tin.

I wouldn't, and I'm not even paranoid about food. I've never seen a tin like that in my life.

Take those empty tins, and any remaining unopened tins, back to the shop and ask for a refund.

The tin should have that "if you're not happy with this product" blah,blah, then contact them. We did that once, not beans,cant remember what it was, but we had a whole low loader (or something) delivered to us as compensation.
The time we bought a box of Spillers Shapes for our little dog, inside the box was just one shape - a baked lump of dough. Huge, it was. And our puppy was ever so little and timid and frightened out of his last wit by the sight of it. ahhhh. Got loads of vouchers for that one.
So, keep the can in case they want it back, and email them.

Ok, the Branston beans tin is black on the bottom. Is this ok? What's going on??

That is adorable.

OP I wouldn't eat that but I would be either taking it back to the shop or writing to the manufacturer. If you need the beans for tonight the shop is probably quicker.

Is this spaghetti hoops tin ok??

The branston ones and the spaghetti look ok. I’ve just opened a tin of beans and sausage and the inside of the tin looks grey with a coating your beans tin doesn’t look like it’s got a coating on it and the tomato sauce has reacted with the tin

The beans and sausage tin I’ve opened looks like the bottom of your branston beans tin

Thanks all. I've been refunded, but can't get anyone to tell me if it's safe. What a waste of food brexit stash

Just an FYI: the black is completely harmless and is due to detinning. The contents are safe to eat!

Says who? Glad you got a refund.

What is "detinning"? I've never heard the word before.

Send them pics and you will get vouchers they'll need the batch details

Watch Steve1989MRE on Youtube. He opens and eats things from tins that are decades old and black/brown/green inside yet miraculously has never gotten sick from it. Gives you a whole new perspective on what is actually safe to eat, especially highly processed long-life foods.

Having said that, I would definitely bin a tin that looks like that!

Heinz rang me. They are sending vouchers!

I just found this when I was cleaning the tins the beans have already been eaten. I’ve tried to scrape the pink off with a spoon and nothing was coming off. Can someone please tell me if it’s just stained from the beans
