Botulism toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, is heat-sensitive and can be destroyed by cooking at 85 degrees Celsius (185 degrees Fahrenheit) for at least five minutes. However, cooking food at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes may not effectively eliminate the toxin if it was already present. Additionally, the spores of the bacteria can survive high temperatures, so proper food preservation and handling are essential to prevent botulism. Always prioritize safe food practices to avoid contamination.
