Are those the Zoo Med Can O'Bloodworms? If so and they've been opened more than a week, you may want to discard them.

Whitish colored ones are usually dead or just bad. You could try dumping the whole can in a container of dechlorinated water and discard the 'bad' looking ones by pouring them out of the container and see how the normal ones look. I don't know if the sniff test works on these types of products.

yes it is zoo med, yes it has been opened for more than a week (i think a month). The whitish colored ones are at the top, but i'll just dump it. the rest is probably on its way to go white as well

Yeah, better safe than sorry. You made the right choice to pitch them out
