Has the construction of tins changed, or is this another example of
excess caution?Â* I have never known a tin to start rusting in the
timescale involved and even if it did, the rust would be at the top
not were the food is.

I am cautious about leaving the food in the tin, and have several glass
or plastic containers for transfer. I also have some plastic lids called
"Homecare pet food can seal" which I sometimes use. I don't have any
pets, but I don't suppose people would risk their precious mutts and
moggies if it wasn't safe.


Even plastic is not 'safe'. The best containers are made by a NZ
company using plastic that is ?BPA-free. On sale everywhere. My
local Sainsburys has them.
