Hello! I just opened a can of La Costena pickled Serranos and saw this black stuff at the top. Do any of y'all happen to know what this could be?

Could be discoloration from the metal can, but I’m not 100% sure. Does it wash off?
If it helps, there’s no crazy discoloration on the lid or in the wall as of the can. It almost looks like little dots of black oil suspended in the juice? There was also no dents or defects on the can or around the seal and they taste and smell fine. I honestly think this is fine but I am currently pregnant and want to try and make sure it’s not mold or anything if possible lol
