Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the risk assessment of botulism resulting from the consumption of vacuum‐packed or modified atmosphere‐packed foods

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Foodborne botulism is caused by the ingestion of a neurotoxin (BoNT) primarily produced by Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium is classified into six phenotypic Groups, with Groups I and II being associated with human disease. BoNT are divided into seven main types with different antigenic potentials, of which types A, B, E, and F are ...
