Common food sources associated with botulism include improperly canned or preserved foods, such as home-canned vegetables, fruits, and meats. Other sources may include smoked or fermented fish, honey, and certain low-acid foods that have been stored at room temperature for an extended period of time.
Botulism is a form of food poisoning. The poisons are secreted by a common bacterium.
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.

Vectors of botulism primarily include improperly processed or preserved food, particularly home-canned foods, smoked fish, and certain fermented products. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which produces the botulinum toxin, thrives in low-oxygen environments, making these food items potential sources of contamination. Additionally, honey is a known vector for botulism in infants due to its potential to contain spores. Other less common sources include wounds infected with the bacteria, which can lead to wound botulism.
E coli, salmonella, campylobacter, botulism
Fairly rare in developed countries, unless one is careless in preserving food.
That is the correct spelling of "botulism" (a type of food poisoning)
it is more common in Asia pacific and also where can food is used more
Botulism is a type of food poisoning. What causes it is the bacteria living on our food that produce toxins that can kill humans.
what are foods sources associated with it and possible contaminants
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.
Botulism
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.
