Of course! Despite the best (or typical) practices of any producer of food, any product can become contaminated.

What organism does botulism effect?

Botulism primarily affects humans and various animals, particularly those with a gastrointestinal system, such as livestock and pets.

In humans, botulism can lead to severe neurological symptoms, including paralysis. Infants are particularly vulnerable to a specific form of botulism due to their immature gut flora.
