Citric acid does not directly prevent botulism, which is caused by the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. However, citric acid can lower pH levels in foods, creating an environment that is less conducive to the growth of this bacterium. While it can be a useful preservative in food processing, proper canning techniques and food safety practices are essential for preventing botulism.
