What are foodborne toxins? Foodborne toxins are toxins that are found in different foods that can cause illness when they are consumed. Some are naturally occurring toxins that are found in certain foods, and others are produced by bacteria that have contaminated a food item.
Foodborne botulism is caused by consuming foods containing the botulinum toxin. The most commonly tainted foods are home-canned vegetables, cured pork, and ham, raw fish, smoked fish, honey, and corn syrup. For example, Home-canned foods and fermented fish and aquatic game from Alaska can be sources of the toxin.
