    I mean, I’m no expert, but I suspect it’s caused by Clostridium botulinum.

      Solid work. I would also reason that it’s spread thru some type of vector

        Yeah, it’s unlikely that a bitmap would spread botulism.

    Would irradiating the packaged food before shipping kill off any botulism?

      They form spores and spores can withstand a lot of radiation.
