I don't even what that's for. The forums help section doesn't explain a lot. Sometimes i accidentally put some people on my ignore list and apparently, it hides their posts.

That's caused by bacteria. It'll die when you cook it. Spam is precooked anyway.

No! Botulism is caused by an anaerobic bacteria, which produces spores, which produce toxins, which cause botulism. It is extremely heat resistent, so it's not killed through normal cooking. This is one good reason to avoid dented cans of Spam, particularly if they're bulging.

Spores are harmless. You inhale them everyday. The spores grow into the bacteria if conditions are right and then the bacteria produces the toxins and spores. There hasn't been an outbreak of that from Spam before. If Spam wasn't safe, the FDA would've warned us. But im not gonna pressure you into eating it if you don't want to.

i dont think you should be scared of spam but rather damaged, broken sealed, dented canned goods

Don't get me wrong, I like Spam, but not botulism. It's commonly found in dented cans, or food that has been improperly jarred or canned at home. And it's far from harmless. It's why you don't feed infants honey or corn syrup, it's found in those and can be particularly deadly to those with lesser immune systems.

[TheGoldenGriffin]

Jars usually have lids that pop up if the seal breaks and they warn you to not purchase it if it happens.
