You notice a bulging can of food
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When Clostridium botulinum is allowed to grow, it will cause cans to bulge. If you have any bulging cans in your storage, or notice that any cans are bulging when you receive food, be sure to reject the shipment or discard the cans.
Detailed explanation-2: -botulinum can produce toxin within 3 weeks. In addition prestorage at 3°C for up to 2-4 weeks stimulates the toxinogenesis of nonproteolytic C. botulinum type B at a subsequent storage at 8°C. Heating of REPFEDs before consumption was not always sufficient to inactivate botulinum toxin completely.
