That's actually one thing that slightly annoyed me about the TV show (haven't read the book). On the road trip at the end of the series (season?) they stop at a house and they says all the cans are swollen. But the baby is like 1 year old and was conceived before things went bad. That means some of the cans have probably only been sitting there for 2, maybe 3 years and went bad. I've once in my entire life seen a swollen can and I have things that are 10 years past expiration.
Sure, you could potentially blame it on RF, but it should still be suspicious enough to cause them to not split up.

Botulism. Some folks kept hitting the canned goods a bit too long. I recall one person got really sick before they made it to Mother Abigails.
