You can determine if canned food has botulism by checking for signs like bulging or leaking cans, unusual smells, or strange textures. If you suspect botulism, do not taste the food and seek medical help immediately.
No. Botulism is a deadly poison usually found in carelessly canned food.
Botulism results from the contamination of food by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which releases toxic by-products as it grows anaerobically. Damaged or dented cans, or improper canning, can allow botulism to affect the food inside.
Foodborne botulism comes from eating food that has the botulism toxin in it. Foodborne botulism usually comes from eating home-canned food. Any food may have botulism. Botulism is tasteless, odorless, and has no color. Wound botulism comes from having a sore, a cut, or a skin opening. Wound botulism usually comes from injecting street drugs.

botulism
The most notable is botulism, which is caused by a toxin produced by a soil bacterium, Clostridium botulinum.This appears most frequently when commerical cans of food are rusted, dented or damaged, and in home canning. It is also found in honey. The normal cooking process may not destroy all of the spores.Medically, botulinum toxin (botox) is used for deliberate muscle paralysis in cosmetic surgery.
The most common food borne illness from canned foods is botulism. This is especially true for canned food with low acid (asparagus, beet, corn).This is caused by cans contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. The organism releases a botulism toxin and if ingested it brings about symptoms such as: blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, dry mouth and muscle weakness.
No pickles are low risk sour more then sweet The high acidity inhibits bacterial growth Canned pickles like other canned goods present risk for botulism toxin Botulism is a anaerobic bacteria meaning it grows in an environment without oxygen Botulism toxin is extremely dangerous Ensure all canned goods are properly packed and sealed and store your pickles in the fridge after opening
To prevent botulism when preparing and storing food, follow these steps: Ensure proper canning techniques are used for preserving foods. Store canned foods in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate perishable foods promptly. Avoid consuming food from swollen or damaged cans. Heat home-canned foods thoroughly before eating.
