bulging or damaged packaging. At home, store food properly—keep perishables cold and canned goods in a cool, dry place.
Always check expiration dates, and pay attention to smell, texture, and appearance. If something seems off, it’s safer to throw it away than risk your health.
In the end, not all bloated packaging is bad—but knowing the difference matters. One protects your food, while the other could be your only warning sign.
