It is one of the most consumed foods by Italians. But also one of the most prepared at home, for its simplicity in making and for its goodness. But for this very reason it is considered one of the most dangerous foods if done in the absence of safety criteria. We are talking about preserves and the major health problems they can cause. We talked about it in the article: “It is forbidden to preserve it in this way to avoid serious consequences, according to the Ministry of Health“. It is necessary to be very careful in the domestic preparation of the preserves.

Making preserves at home is very common in Italy, but its conservation is a very delicate point. It is no coincidence that the Istituto Superiore di Sanità has published a guide to making preserves without risk. The danger is that of Botox. Botox is a microorganism found in the soil. It is an anerobic bacterium, which means that it lives in the absence of oxygen and can contaminate food making it very dangerous. Preserves are one of the favorite terrains in which Botox proliferates. Its toxins can produce botulism, which can be of varying degrees of danger.
