Although there are very few cases of botulism poisoning each year, prevention is extremely important. According to the CDC, foodborne botulism has often been linked to home-canned foods with a low acid content. These foods include asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. People have also become infected from other sources including chopped garlic in oil, chili peppers, tomatoes, improperly handled baked potatoes cooked in aluminum foil, and home-canned or fermented fish (such as sardines).
Persons who can their own food should follow strict canning procedures to reduce contamination of foods.
Honey should not be given to children younger than 12 months of age, as it can contain spores of C. Botulism and is known to cause infant botulism.
