Cloudy or Molded Contents

This goes without saying, but if you see mold in your canned goods, throw them out! Mold is an indication that the can was compromised in some way, so you shouldn't simply discard the moldy portion and deem the rest edible. Make sure you not only check the contents, but also the lid of the can. Remember that the mold may be wispy in texture and vary in color.
