"We have been told for years that eating from dented cans is unsafe and should be avoided at all costs, Unfortunately, this is a common misconception that has lead to safe food being discarded and money and food being wasted. It is true that some dented cans are unsafe, but a majority of dented cans are completely safe to eat. Knowing how to tell ..."
Food service has to be overly careful because of lawsuits and because they are often feeding the immune-compromised (elderly, children).
Dented cans of foods can be an excellent source of Botulism and/or Salmonella. I never purchase a dented-can item when shopping. http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/aha/aha_botulisi_crs.htm I hope you have plenty of insurance.
Definitely not a good idea so please don't do it because it's not worth risking getting botulism :-( And why would you risk distributing to others :-o I won't even buy a dented can of cat food!
Dented cans leave openings for bacteria and other not so good things to get in and spoil the food. It is a very bad idea to buy or sell these items. Please think again.
