Unfortunately, one cannot tell whether their food is infected with botulism if they are just testing from their home. Food science laboratories need to be accessed and utilized in order for one to find signs of botulism in food.

Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe Humans can die from eating foods in which the organism is growing How can this organism survive on plants picked for human consumption Why are home-can?
Normally, you do not get botulism poisoning from eating raw plants from the garden. You get it from eating prepared food that has not been refrigerated. At one time it was common at church picnics. Potato Salad made with mayonnaise would sit out in the sun while the congregation worshipped in church. During that time the botulism bacteria would reproduce and produce their toxin. After several hours the people would come out to the picnic. They would eat poison potato salad. Again. With commercially canned food, the food would be cooked in large kettles. It would be placed in cans and sealed while the temperature was above 180 degrees Fahrenheit 80C. Home canning frequently lets the temperature get low enough for botulism to live in a home canned product. With botulism, after the bacteria are killed, the poison remains. So, if you suspect that some food might have the botulism bacteria, you must throw it out. Reheating it will only kill the bacteria. It will not remove the poison. You must throw it out.
Can you get Botulism from spoiled hot dogs?
Botulism is an anaerobic bacteria - this means it can grow without air. This is why botulism can be contracted from eating canned foods that have been dented or home canned goods, such as tomatoes, that have not been prepared properly. Once exposed to air, over time, these botulin spores die. This is one reason why you should not smell a freshly opened can of food; the botulin spores can be inhaled into your lungs and cause illness. It is unlikely that you could get botulism from eating hot dogs that have not been canned and that have been exposed to the air. It is more likely you could get a gastroenteritis from eating spoiled hot dogs that may have been left out, old or improperly stored.
