I bought a can of tinned food that was slightly rusty. I've noticed rust for a while and the only reason I can come up with is if it's been sitting on a container ship longer than is ideal, before covid-19 existed and because of it. I generally try to stay away from cans with rust/dents but for some reason I bought it.
I also noticed a bottle of juice I bought tasted off. It had that 'off fizz' but I drank it. Not the whole bottle all at once. I will say I didn't have any bad side-effects. The juice was ok, but it would have been better if it didn't have that fizz. The seal wasn't broken either.
Maybe its taste was impacted by covid too, because it had been sitting somewhere for too long, possibly not in a refrigerator.
As a related digression, I've ordered products online and had them delivered because I trust the retailer/company/merchant etc. and/or I can't buy the product here. I have received all packages in the standard frame, 7-14 days, sometimes less than 7 days. It has to travel internationally very far too. Maybe I am lucky and I do not doubt there are people who wait weeks for a package that would have previously taken 7-14 days to be delivered, I just have no experience of it.
I did send my passport to be renewed and it took three months but that was sent off in the first quarter of 2020 when most places were getting to grips with covid-19. Then I had to re-apply to renew my passport because their system is fucked.
Anyway, it's interesting because you wonder if some details are due to the pandemic or not.
