Let me flesh my reply out a little more. Back when cans were just tinned, they were very vulnerable to a bend breaking the tinning and exposing the steel.

Later, laquer coatings were used inside to make that not happen so much.

Today, the plastic, flexible coatings mean that even dented cans don't expose the contents to direct contact with steel, except in severe conditions.

You wouldn't think that technology of cans had changed much in the last 40 years, but it has.

One piece bottoms, double rolled lids, plastic linings.

Better living through technology.

Does that apply to imports, as well?
