{'perishable foods': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'perishable food': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'processed meat': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'sealed tins': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'inferences': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'meat': [3, 3, 0, 2], 'tins': [0, 1, 0, 0]}

From the given statements, we can infer that "Processed meat is sometimes not packed in sealed tins."

Statement I tells us that processed meat is perishable, which means it can spoil or decay over time.

Statement II states that all perishable foods are packed in sealed tins.

Statement III suggests that there are cases where sealed tins do not contain processed meat.

Based on these statements, it can be concluded that processed meat is not always packed in sealed tins.
