Will 10 Minutes At Boiling Temperature Destroy All Botulism?!


Question:

Will 10 Minutes At Boiling Temperature Destroy All Botulism?

Castleberry canned products are being recalled for being contaminated with botulism. http://www.cnn.com/2007/us/07/19/sauce.i... Will a 10 minute boil completely eliminate any danger from the botulinus toxin even if it is present in high concentration?


Answers:

Personally I would never use any recalled food even if I boiled it for an hour. I always boil all of my canned food or cook any food extra well just to make sure all the bacteria has been killed. I don't trust factories or any places that make or prepare food for that matter.
