Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and seafood are more likely to contain the spores that can cause botulism if they are not properly canned. High-acid foods like fruits and pickles are less likely to have these spores and are generally considered safe for home canning if proper procedures are followed. Low-sugar and high-sugar content do not have a significant impact on the risk of botulism.
