A member asked:
I pan seared some salmon that was thawing in its original vacuum sealed bag. it was thawing for a couple of days, but i want to know what my chances are of getting botulism.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food safety: If it was sitting out while thawing (and not refrigerated) - that is a recipe for problems. Not botulism - but a variety of other possible foodborne infections.
