喬治‧歐威爾：「…要不是先前發明了罐頭食品，第一次世界大戰根本就打不起來。…怪的是，人們卻往往忽視了食物的重要性。政客、詩人、主教的塑像隨處可見，卻不見有替廚師、醃肉師父或市場菜販立像的。」大哉斯言。
canned food
Food sterilized by heat in a closed, durable container such as tin and aluminum cans, flexible aluminum foil and thermoplastic containers including squeeze tubes. Technically, the processes used are highly efficient and used universally. Problems occur rarely but their identification is an important part of food hygiene. The problems arise either with the sterilization of the container or its contents, or because the container leaks after closure, permitting infection to occur. If the contained material contains toxins when it is first added to the can they will still be there when the can is opened.
