recanned

Jarred a second time

Recanned means canned again—preserved food transferred to new containers, or more commonly, content repackaged and redistributed.

In media and software contexts, recanned material is recycled or repurposed: The studio recanned footage from the original film for the sequel.

The term often carries a slight note of staleness or lack of originality.
