February is Canned Food Month

Canned Food Month celebrates the invention of the process for preserving foods in cans that was invented in 1809. Prior to cans, glass, pottery and other materials were used with limited effect. Such materials were difficult to transport or they failed to prevent food spoilage. The tin can, now quite familiar was a revolution in food storage and is responsible for preventing many food borne diseases that were once common place. There is no specific sponsor for this event. However there is an association, The Can Manufacturers Institute: http://www.cancentral.com
