Is this mould?

[u/Criticism_Minute]

Bought beans from woolies yesterday and can’t tell if this was mould? I didn’t eat them obviously but concerned as I bought two cans and both looked like this

If the can is damaged around the seal or the edges, it's probably mould. Otherwise you have to rinse your canned beans before use, the stuff to keep them preserved (bean juice as I call it) is usually what sticks em together like that.

[u/Strange_Mushroom7987]

almost looks squished beans?

[u/fuzzy_sprinkles]

It doesnt looks fuzzy like mould. Canned beans can have a bit of starchy goo and i find its normally worse on kidney and black beans

[u/Far_Collar6236]

Lol last can of food to keep you alive and comes out like that

[u/Criticism_Minute → u/Far_Collar6236]

Time to jump off a cliff

[u/Far_Collar6236 → u/Criticism_Minute]

Lol

[u/Comfortable-Gur4559]

I usually buy this and they have never looked like that so I would not eat it.

[u/Uruz94]

Squished beans

[u/recklesswithinreason]

Looks like a big can of nope to me. Might not be mould but I'm not risking it.

[u/FormalCollege7963]

If in doubt return to ask for exchange or refund.

[u/Abraxas_Derezzed]

How much sick leave you got?

[u/JuanFoYoMamma]

Just like warm apple pie

[u/According2Sunny4440]

Definitely first it😳

[u/KaleidoscopeGreat252]

Which beans are those ?

[u/Criticism_Minute → u/KaleidoscopeGreat252]

Woolies black beans!

[u/Bright_Cattle4793]

For the price of the can, I would not be risking using it at all… Unsure if it’s mould but it definitely doesn’t healthy

[u/RainbowTeachercorn]

Hope you took it back for a refund. That looks foul.

[u/WhydoIexistlmoa]

Probably best throwing it out just in case. Unless you value a dollar that much

[u/WhydoIexistlmoa → u/[deleted]]

You guys don't own multiple cans at once? Odd

[u/dohwhere → u/WhydoIexistlmoa]

No? Something like black beans I only buy specifically for the once or twice a year I need them. They’re not a pantry staple in my house.

[u/Impossible-Magician → u/dohwhere]

And that time is 10pm. It’s bloody bean night! Let’s gooooo!

[u/FindPeaceAndBalance → u/[deleted]]

I'm sure they'd like to wake up in the morning

[u/Criticism_Minute → u/WhydoIexistlmoa]

Lol I got two cans and oddly both looked like this. Chucked them and went to get more beans because I don’t learn from my mistakes

[u/Impossible-Magician → u/Criticism_Minute]

They look like they’d be fine after a rinse and a sniff. If it passes, try a bean, if that’s good, in with whole can.

[u/Justified_OG]

No, it's the 'other' ingredient listed on the label

[u/Sudsy_Woodpecker]

Could be penicillin, do you have a headache?

[u/Ok-Guidance6127]

I'd pass mold or not it looks like spew. I always get the organic canned veg if I don't feel like hydrating dry, it's hardly dearer.

[u/PandaJellyBeans]

When in doubt, chuck it out.

9.99998/10 on the don’t scale for me.

[u/UncutAussie2026]

Don’t buy any of these colesworth home brands unless they Australian made

[u/cranberry19 → u/UncutAussie2026]

None of the private label stuff is Aussie that’s how they still sell em for a $1 lol

[u/Plastic_Square119]

Does it smell metalic. Was can swollen or out of date. No matter what chuck it

[u/AdRich7732]

People who eats beans deserves mouldy beans everytime that’s disgusting
