Canning food at home is a great way to preserve fresh food and reduce food waste. But, if problems occur, that food is wasted. Of all reported canning failures, 99% are due to user error. Here are the most common reasons:
- Following old or unsafe recipes
- Using untested recipes
- Using old, unsafe family canning methods
- Using the wrong jar size
- Using improper processing methods for the food being preserved
- Storing the canned food in the wrong type of location such as the garage, shed, crawl space, etc.
- Adjusting the screw band too tightly
- Not adjusting for altitude

Most seal failures come from improper preparation, incorrect headspace, smash karts or issues with lids/bands. Following up-to-date USDA/Home Canning guidelines and checking each jar before storage greatly reduces risks.
