Experts recommend preventing the risk of Botulinum poisoning

Medical experts warn that anyone is at risk of Botulinum poisoning because this is not a rare bacteria and people need knowledge to prevent and avoid the risk of poisoning from this bacteria.

Botulinum poisoning is poisoning caused by infection with the toxin of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The cause is due to the patient being infected with toxins in poor quality food, eating food that is not properly preserved.

To prevent the risk of Botulinum poisoning, health experts recommend that people who process bottled, jarred or sealed foods should clean the environment, wipe and sanitize the processing area regularly to avoid dirt, soil, sand and harmful bacteria from sticking to the food.

Food packaging should use modern techniques. Manufacturers often use sterilizing rays when packaging to ensure food safety. People who package at home are at high risk of food safety loss.

Another measure people should apply when packaging food is to use a salt content of over 5% salt/100g of food because in an environment that is too salty, bacteria cannot grow.

People should be careful not to use expired food, especially canned products that are swollen or deformed because these products have been attacked by Botulinum bacteria or other bacteria; or even if they are still within the expiry date and not deformed, but when opened, they no longer have their natural flavour, they should not be eaten.
