A member asked:
What does pasta sauce contaminated with botulism bacteria smell like? is it a very strong smell, or not that noticeable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Botulism: It may or may not smell. If in doubt , throw thesauce out. If the sauce is from a can and the lid is lifted, discard the sauce because the botulism toxin has raised the can.
