Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Botulinum toxin can be eliminated in home-canned food by using proper canning techniques such as following the correct temperature and pressure in canning. Boiling the canned food for 15 minutes may help to destroy the bacteria but may not eliminate the toxin produced by the bacteria. Using dented cans immediately or testing the soil in which the food was grown does not have any impact on eliminating botulinum toxin in home-canned food.
