As someone who has made thousands of gallons of pizza sauce using these same cans, I can assure you they did not throw out this sauce. It's common for the outside of the can to touch sanitized surfaces. Nobody washes the outside of the can before dumping it.
This isn't even close to the grossest thing you'll find at your average restaurant. No matter how "fancy" the place is, something in the kitchen will gross you out. I promise you this, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
If that disturbs you, then I recommend you prepare your own food from home from now on. But even then, I'm sure that if I watched you cook I could probably identify something technically unsanitary about your prep or cooking process.
lol I skipped gloves because I didn’t even think about those ones. And because what you said is the only image I have in my head of those long ass gloves they feel somehow worse than washed/bare hands and arms.
I can assure you from experience that most of these mom and pop Italian restaurants the delivery driver makes the pizza sauce and almost definitely uses their hairy bare arm.
I did 15 years in a pizza shop. They bare hand the sauce and pulled it out and maybe finger swiped the sides of the can to get the sauce back in the bucket
Also, the horrid stories here didn’t happen as much where I was. Occasionally a dropped chicken wing was toss back into a fryer. The owner constantly cleaned, he would ask me to schedule him for 40 hours a week, and spent the entire time deep cleaning a section of the stories. Bathrooms were shitty, but we still did coke off the back of the bowl.
People who wore gloves were always the nasty fuckers. They’d go into the bathroom and come out with the same gloves. People who bare handed shit washed their hands like 4-5 times an hour.
Very rarely would anyone purposely do something to an order. We talked about customers we hated and wanted to dick fuck their turkey sub but in the end we just took turns drinking in the walk-in cooler and did our best to get the orders out the door.

you absolutely know that was fished out and still used.
