canned crushed tomatoes discolored?

11 years ago

I'm almost at the tail end of last years crushed tomatoes, and realized I have one jar that is a bit discolored- darker on the top half inch or so- than the rest of the cans have been. This was also probably the last can of the season, because it has a good three-quarters of an inch more headroom than the usual.

These are wide mouth pint jars, and I always add lemon juice as per regulation when I can up. So I'm pretty surprised to find one discolored.

Do I use it, or not take that chance? It's no biggie to toss it, but I figured it would be wise to ask just in case this sort of thing happens again.
