sweetcorn tins...

[joko]

is is ok to store sweetcorn in the tins - as it has a kind of white plastic coating on it so i assume the metal will not be in contact with the food?

anyone know why the tins have this coating?

thanks

Cans for food have had an epoxy lining for while as an attempt to ensure the contents do not react to the metal - but his lining has been linked in several studies to various health problems, inc. the formation of contaminants that imitate female hormones, to some cancers - same health links as also found in some dental fillings . . .

If you are asking about storing part used contents in an opened can - don't. Transfer to a sealed container and use within 2 days
