Attendants worked 12 to 48 hours straight, with limited meals and rest, and were poorly housed and paid. It notes current concerns that about half of nurses still work 48 hours per week despite a 40 hour standard in other fields.

Spoilage in Canned Foods and Safe Canning Tips
Spoilage in canned foods results from several causes and can be reduced by using only high quality produce. Ensure equipment and jars are clean and process vegetables or fruits while fresh. Seal jars tightly and store in a cool dry place. Yellow crystals in asparagus greens and green beans are harmless and dissolve with boiling. White crystals in spinach are harmless. White sediment may come from hard water or salt. Cloudy liquid may come from cooked starch or spoilage. Boil doubtful vegetables before tasting.
