Question


Should I give my 4-month-old formula from a dented can?

Answer


If the top or bottom of the can appears to be bulging, I would not recommend using it. However, if there are just dents in the sides of the can, it should be perfectly safe. Be sure to check the expiration date on the can, however. Don't use it if the expiration date has passed.
