Detailed explanation-1: -Some canned foods can be high in salt. While this does not pose a health risk for most people, it may be problematic for some, such as those with high blood pressure. They may also contain added sugar, which can have harmful effects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Canned foods are filled with important nutrients, including protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals essential for a healthy diet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jars or cans are heated to a temperature high enough to destroy the microorganisms that could cause food spoilage and/or foodborne illness. The heating process also removes air from the product and creates a vacuum. This vacuum helps prevent recontamination by harmful microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Canned foods are cooked in the aluminum cans they are packaged. During this process, high quantities of salt in canned goods are used to preserve them. If you reach for a canned soup in a recipe, you may unknowingly be using triple the suggested amount in one serving. Canned foods contain a lot of sodium.
