Why? I would be rather surprised there are NO dents in cans when they are shipped around the country and handled by several different people/companies. As long as the can stays intact, I see no issue honestly. I've never had a dented can which made the product inside different at all.

Other than those fairly rare occasions, a dented can is fine. In any case, don't let a dented can be part of your zombie apocalypse stash. Eat it as soon as possible.

Are the dented cans affecting quality somehow? I've never understood why a dented can is a big deal. It seems like that one scene from Big Daddy where it says "Dented cans are half price" really altered perceptions around a can being slightly dented.Why?

I agree with you. First world problems. Ive ordered canned items from Amazon and never had an issue with quality inside or opening it. If one day it happens it'll be okay. 😂

A dented can, can potentially have Botulism. Being a chef and culinary instructor and teaching Servsafe, dented cans in the food industry are really a no no. We will send dented cans back. Not knowing how long the can has been dented, we send them back as a precaution because of the threat of Botulism. Granted, if I drop a can and dent it myself, I will make sure to use it ASAP to be safe. Just my .02.

This is the reason to avoid dented cans. You don't have any idea when it was dented. Maybe during shipping, maybe weeks or months ago.
I've ordered 3x canned items from Amazon and every order had dented cans. I received a refund, but also stopped ordering canned food from Amazon.

That said, if the dent is minor and not near a seam I will still use it, especially with high acid food.
