I regularly eat the tinned corned beef...Have done since I was a
kid...It's ok. Mostly in sandwiches or on a cracker.

But there is a trick. You need to refridgerate the tin over night before
opening it...Due to the cans shape, if you refridgerate it, the corned
beef will slide out in one piece and be easy to slice...otherwise it is
too soft and shreds.
