根因分析
肉毒杆菌毒素（Clostridium botulinum）在毒素形成后不能通过pH调整中和；只有长时间加热至185°F（85°C）以上5分钟或压力罐装至240°F（116°C）才能破坏毒素。
English
Botulism toxin (Clostridium botulinum) is not neutralized by pH adjustment after toxin formation; only prolonged heating above 185°F (85°C) for 5 minutes or pressure canning at 240°F (116°C) destroys the toxin.

-
If any can is bulging, leaking, or has off-odor, do not open it. Wrap in plastic, place in sealed bag, and dispose in trash that will not be scavenged. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
-
Boil the food in a saucepan at a rolling boil for at least 10 minutes (at altitudes above 3000 ft, add 1 minute per 1000 ft). This destroys botulism toxin if present. Use a thermometer to ensure 212°F.
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
90% 失败
Acidification after toxin formation does not destroy preformed botulism toxin; it only prevents future growth.
-
80% 失败
Botulism toxin requires 5+ minutes at 185°F (85°C) or 10 minutes at 176°F (80°C) for inactivation; 1 minute is insufficient.
-
60% 失败
While correct for canning, this is not a practical fix for already-canned food that is suspected; the food must be discarded.
