fermenting Chipotle ferment?

So I wanted to play around a bit with a new ferment. I did some red long hots from local stand with frozen cherries, roasted garlic, charred onion and a can of chipotle in adobo. After I jarred it up I noticed a tiny amount of oil in the mash, tiny beads at the very top. I then realized those canned chipotles have a little corn oil in them. Will the oil go rancid and ruin my ferment or will that little be OK?
 
John, the ferment you're looking for is activity of bacteria that have no interest in the oil in your can of chipotles whatsoever. They may be influenced by preservatives in that mix however. Do you have ingredient information from the can?
 
Thanks for the reply CJ. I did have the foresight to look at the label, but was only looking at thinks that would hinder lactobacterial growth, so I think I'm good there. It was only really the oil that concerned me. Thoughts?
