canners
Food preservation workers
Canners are people or machines that preserve food in sealed containers.
Home canners put up tomatoes, pickles, and jams; industrial canners process vegetables and fruits at scale.
The word also refers to the containers themselves—jars designed for heat processing.
In some regions, canners are people who collect bottles and cans for recycling deposits: The canners were out early on trash day.
