Can I Get Sick From Eating...

Can I get sick from eating canned pineapple that has started going bad??


The reason I ask this is because tonite a bunch of us went to a local custard place. I ordered a pineapple shake. When I tasted it, the fruit tasted fermented, so I took it back and told them it was not right. The manager checked their pineapple supply (which comes from cans) and tasted it and said it had gone bad. She aplogized and offered me anything else I wanted. I asked for my money and she gave me a refund and a free soda on the house.


Now.. I only took 2 sips of it. She said that they are supposed to taste the pineapple everyday to make sure it's still good. She said they don't use it much and the usual staff was on vacation... I asked her if I would get sick. Of course she said no. I have been looking on the internet for info, but can only find stuff on fresh pineapple (e.coli issues) and botulism from canned food. But, what about when it begins to go rotten? Does anyone know??? I am trying hard not to worry and contemplating taking some CharcoCaps just incase. The thing is, I am afraid of the CharcoCaps because a possible side effect is... You guessed it. (go figure) Someone please help me think more logically about this. It was only 2 sips, but I can't stop obsessing over it, and I want to go to sleep.

You'll be perfectly fine. Don't worry about it. You only took 2 sips. And it's not like it was totally rotten. Keep in mind that the manager also tasted it and she/he is probably not sick. Sooo it's all good =)

Dude,


Thanks I don't know why, but it always helps to hear someone say that before going to bed when I'm anxious. Just hearing that thing will all be okay


Thanks again.

It looks like you posted this last night and I"m sure you are fine. Like dude said she tasted it as well and if the staff is expected to taste it before using it that I would say it shouldnt' make you sick, if that were the case they wouldnt' let the staff taste it to test it's freshness cuz they wouldn't want a bunch of sick peopole calling in. Plus it was only 2 sips, you probably got more milk and sugar and whatever else is in it that pineapple, not enough to make you sick. Hope your'e feeling better about it!
