Health quotes Thomas Russo in an article about coffee recalls due to fear of botulism contamination. “There are spores found in the environment, but they can be inactivated by pasteurization. If they’re not inactivated and end up in conditions where they can germinate, the spores can become an active toxin,” Russo said.
