I bought this container of grated parmesan cheese earlier today. All of the containers available for purchase had similarly swollen tops.

As you can see, the best by date for this cheese isn’t until December.

I do live at high altitude (more than 6,000 feet above sea level), but I don’t typically have issues with food packaging swelling here.

Is this safe to eat, despite the safety seal swelling? Thank you in advance!
