What causes cloudy liquid in canned vegetables?
Cloudy liquid in canned vegetables can be a sign of
spoilage. In starchy foods, cloudiness may occur because
the vegetables were too old or harvested too long before
canning. Cloudiness can also be caused by minerals in
hard water. If cloudiness becomes visible later on, it
is probably due to spoilage and the food should be
destroyed.
