Is my can of beans contaminated?

Question

I just opened two cans of Goya black beans that are dated to expire 4/14/2011, and there were particles of a clear, whitish jelly all throughout the beans. They just didn't look right. I've opened cans of Goya beans before and they didn't look like this. What's this jelly stuff?

Answer 1

The white stuff is normal bean juice and the spots are tiny pieces of bean skin. But I know what you mean; suspicious foods take the appetite away.

'When in doubt - throw it out!'

But they're probably still good!
