Do you wash your can goods?
I do.
Here is the story.
In the mid 90's, I worked for a major drink operation on the production floor.
One night they shut us down to clean the place.
A little girl died of a ailment from drinking our product.
They traced it to mouse pee on the can.
It never went public or to trial.
The family was well compensated.
I now clean every can I touch.

My pantry is in the garage, so the cans get a patina of dust on them very quickly. I always clean the top before I open them.

I don't clean 'em. What are the odds? 1 in a billion?

Never

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Wife of an old boss worked for CDC as a microbiologist and at a party she mentioned that we really should scrub the lip of any soda or soup/veggie cans. I do, most of the time. Some grungy stuff comes up occasionally.

I do rinse off the top of cans to be on the safe side.

I wipe the top and ring of my Beer Cans but if they looked real dirty I would rinse them off first.
As far as canned food I never eat right out of the can so every thing gets heated real well before
it go's in the pie hole.
