omg if the stuff sprayed out of the can, why on earth would you even put it up to your mouth??? If the top of a can is bulging or has leaked and dried around any part of the seams of the can, throw it out. It's a bad seal. I happens from time to time. I bought a jar of Organic Marinara Sauce at Trader Joes, the lid was bulging. So I returned it

The can was not bulging or dented. Nothing looked wrong with it. I'd never had that happen. Quick lapse of judgement.
There’s another hormel Chili post on here too, just a few days ago. Bad batch maybe?
maybe dont eat canned meat...
It says vegetarian with beans; so canned meat isn't the problem here. It's not sealed correctly and anything that sprays contents upon opening should not be ingested at all.
you wouldn’t buy food from that kroger on memorial if you saw how they stock the shelves and bring in pallets, literally disgusting
