You need to do a little investigating. Check the seams and seals on the cans. Are the seals and seams broken or cracked? Has it frozen, thawed and refrozen? Thaw the canned food slowly in a refrigerator on a tray so you can see whether the can is leaking through tiny cracks invisible to the eye.

Not a Prime Member? I did some research to find out all about it. Here is what I found out. Generally, it is not safe to freeze canned foods due to their water content. When water freezes, it expands, causing the airtight seal of the can to be compromised. Once the seal breaks, the food is exposed to the air, allowing bacteria to grow. The bacteria can cause foodborne illnesses and cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. You might think that freezing canned food will prolong its longevity.
However, knowing what is chemically happening inside the canned good and the possible dangers of eating unsealed products should make it clear why freezing canned goods is an ill-advised method to elongating their expiration date.
Keeping a good seal on canned foods is important. Freezing will potentially compromise the integrity of the can. Once the seal is broken, the food can become contaminated and begin to degrade over time.
Luckily, no! It can be easy to spot if your food has potentially spoiled. Looking at the cans closely will help you determine this.
If the metallic can is intact but looks like it has bulged, you should also consider this as spoiled food. As bacteria grow, it can release gas, which can cause the metallic container to swell from increased internal pressure. Beware of a bulging can: It is possible that during freezing, the structure of the can could become compromised in a way you cannot visually detect. If you discover frozen cans that look intact and want to preserve the food inside, thaw them slowly.
An excellent method is to place them in the refrigerator and allow the thawing process to take several days. When this happens, the ice will slowly recede to its lower density form, water, and gradually reduce the internal pressure of the can.
This assists the metal or glass container to retract slowly, too, and prevents cracking. Assuming no spillages or bulging are detected after thawing, the food is safe to eat. Use your sense of smell and taste to determine if the food is well-preserved even if the canned food does pass all visual inspections.
However, food taste and texture will have likely depreciated. As an extra precaution, if you can, heat the food above boiling to kill any lingering bacteria before consumption.
