Spoilage in Canned Foods and How to Prevent It
Spoilage in canned foods can stem from several causes. Use only the best quality produce and ensure all equipment and jars are clean. Process vegetables and fruits while fresh, seal jars properly, and store in a cool dry place. Yellow crystals in certain vegetables are harmless and dissolve with boiling. White crystals in canned spinach are harmless. White sediment may come from hard water or salt. Cloudy liquid may indicate starch release or spoilage. Boil doubtful vegetables before tasting.

The Middle West Soil Improvement committee notes the trend as fertilizer firms expand capacity and mining operations.
