Annihilate Botulism

Botulism is the biggest threat to food safety in home canning low acid foods. What does it really take to reduce the probability of botulism toxin being produced in the foods you can at home? This video shows how to do exactly that.
Note: A safety precaution you can use for low acid foods: Open the jar, place in a pan and boil for 10 minutes. If any botulism toxin happens to be present, it will be destroyed. The toxin is not heat resistant to the degree that the spores are.

    Thanks for this video! I am a doctor who has seen many cases of severe Botulism when whole families ended up in the ICU, half of them dying and funerals held while the rest of the family was still struggling... I do canning myself too and keep repeating and educating my surrounding since nowadays it's much rarer and those who haven't seen this horror tend to forget about the importance of precautionary measures. P.S. I think it's important to mention that if you have any doubts about any canned food regarding Botulism you can still eat it provided that you empty it in a pot and give it a boil for about ten minutes. The Botulitoxin is a large protein that is denaturated and rendered harmless at temperatures below boiling point. So, boiling the contents of your can for some ten minutes is the way to go to be 100% safe.

    @@fertile_farmacy1802 @fertile_farmacy1802 Armenia, during the years of the fall of the Soviet Union in the early nineties. It was very much the same in other ex-USSR countries, where people used to can food a lot, there was no other option. And during those years the cases peaked. I wouldn't call such frequent and even large scale family cases of botulism poisoning an outbreak as such, unless it happens with customers of a restaurant or purchasers of a certain factory-made brand where canning has gone wrong. Each and every one of these was an isolated focal case... And can you imagine a hospital with electricity cuts and insufficient finances for fuel for the backup generators (not to say war and blockade with no fuel available in the first place)? When the electricity went off all free residents, nurses, cleaning staff etc rushed to the ICU to take turns on the Ambu bags to keep the many patients breathing (not only Botulism cases of course)... It was a disaster. Try pumping an Ambu bag for several minutes and your hands will get numb... I can't forget those years, I've even operated under candle light, with several people holding candles close to my sterile operating field... For "rebel canning", I wouldn't advise it at all. Disaster happens only once and then it might be too late to regret. For open-lid fermented food, like pickles, it's OK and it might be relatively safe for highly salted, sugary or acidic preservation (depending on percentage, the higher the safer), but if your "canning" has neither of these and it's under a tight lid with no aeration, it has the perfect anaerobic environment for Clostridium Botulinum to grow. It takes just one spore to land on the food before you close it... Even if you have an open jar, i.e. not tightly closed, only the top layers will be aerated and Botulism might grow in a corner at the bottom where not much oxygen gets through... Ten people might eat and be OK but the one who was unlucky enough to spoon the affected corner might get the ticket to meet his Lord ... This is nothing to joke about or rebel against!

    Oddly, in the UK where pressure canners are virtually unknown, all canning is water bath or open kettle, and yet they have had very very little Botulism, 62 cases in 83 years. Most botulism in the United States is from wounds. Commercial Canned and restraunt foods account for a share of the cases. So about 1 case in well over 12 million. I'm not saying there isn't a risk. I'm saying do your due diligence, learn what causes the botulinum organism to grow, and where it comes from. "Not approved" does not equate to "you will die from this."

    I’m brand new at canning, about 2 weeks in and only 4 canning projects under my belt. All are pressure canning projects: chicken soup, French Onion Soup, Ground Hamburger, and Green Beans. I’ve poured myself into research before I began (knowing absolutely nothing) and used only tested recipes, etc. What I’ve been shocked to discover is the amazing number of rebel canners even in groups advertising themselves as “safe canning” groups. Some of these rebel members are downright militant and become angry at any suggestion that their projects or methods might not be safe. The attitude is numerous (such as canning milk) that I’m shocked, but unable to raise questions without someone becoming defensive or angry. This is so concerning to me that I now fear to accept any home-canned gifts or purchased home-canned products from souvenir shops. Thanks so much for your education! I planned to “can” butter until I saw your video about making ghee. I’m still learning, but your channel has quickly become my leading go-to platform on how to do any food storage preparation safely! …along with reading government sites about how-to canning.

    If I had professors like you when I was in college, I could have gone a lot farther in life! Your presentation is so interesting, I can't help but learn. I do have a question though. If a food is contaminated with botulism, will it get killed if the contents are put in the refrigerator? Exposed to oxygen? I guess the question is whether there is a way to kill the botulism toxin.

    Such a great question. I should have included that info in the video. The toxin can be destroyed in your canned food in after you open the jar, you boil the contents for 10 minutes. The toxin is easy to destroy if you know or suspect it is there. You can't see, taste, or smell it, so I almost always boil my jar contents as an extra safety measure.

    What a great video. When I bought my first pressure canner, I religiously followed the instructions that were in the booklet that came with it. Since 1972 when I first started canning until now (2022) -- 50 years -- I have had less than 5 jars that failed to seal and the bottom broke on only 2 jars. Because I can fish for the most part, and because I give a lot of the canned King and Sockeye Salmon to elderly people who couldn't afford the atrocious price in the stores, I am always particularly careful with cleanliness, time, temperature, and as you pointed out so clearly, the cooling time. I've never gotten sick, and I have never made anyone else sick. Moral of the story: follow instructions. They are there for a good reason.

    I have watched this video twice so far. It is by far the most reassuring information I have seen. I have never home canned before because I grew up terrified of my mother's canner, so when I found out that the newer canners had safety mechanism to keep me from blowing up the kitchen, I gave it a try. This eliminates my second concern. You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I really loved that you gave the facts and figures for the kill zone. Thank you!

    I will say i have been canning for a couple years now and I will say this video puts me at much more ease than every other canning video out there on the topics of C.B. toxin. Seeing the data points and knowing i have followed to a T the guide lines but still skeptical about it. You should work for the USDA as a home canning advocate and educator because you put 1000's of people at ease with this (especially us over thinkers).

    Excellent! Excellent explanation on safe home canning. I've been canning on my own (I helped my mother before getting my own place) since 1972 and never knew that the cool down was so health important. I always thought it was only to make sure the cans did not siphon. In another video you showed probability by putting one grain lf blue corn in with 99 yellow grains. I would not be willing to take the chance of pulling out that blue grain. I didn't think I needed to take your course on home canning. After watching this video, I have changed my mind. Thank you so very much for educating me!!!

    Wow! Thank you so much! I’ve canned for 6-8 years then started canning meat last fall following the book but not understanding why I should do this or that but now I know! Now I understand. Thank you so much. Your explanation was precise, direct and fact filled. You are right, knowledge is power! I now have confidence in my canning! By the way, yesterday, I picked green beans and today I canned 20 quarts (3 total batches in 2 pressure canners) at 10 lbs for 30 minutes, even though I was told 25 minutes was enough. I then let them sit on the stove for 30-45 minutes before I touched them. I knew leaving them on the stove untouched for 30 minutes or more was important but I didn’t know why. Now I feel so empowered now understanding why. Thank you
