Ingestion of this toxin can result in botulism, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Does canned pumpkin expire?
Most canned foods don't have an exact expiration date. Unless they were improperly canned, they are not degrading in the same way uncanned food does - but they will deteriorate in nutrition and quality. If the can has a best-by date on it, try to use it before then. If not, try to use it within a year of purchase. If home-canned, try to use it before the next harvest. As always, check canned goods for signs of spoilage before using them.
Is clostridium botulinum a food intoxication or food infection?
Clostridium botulinum causes food intoxication, not food infection. The bacteria produce botulinum toxin in improperly preserved or canned foods. When ingested, the toxin can lead to a potentially serious illness called botulism.
