I have never had the pleasure of drinking raw milk. Someday I will give it a try.

As for canned foods, regarding smell, texture and taste, botulinum bacterium has no smell, taste and doesn’t change the texture of the food. A doctor told me that canned peppers are the most common food to contain botulinum. Tomatoes would probably be second also being from the Solonacea family and having similar acid content.

If there is no noticeable vacuum release when you open the can or jar then forget it!

Bingo... that is a good rule.

I grew up on raw milk and have great teeth.

Hadn’t had it in 30-something years until I not long ago bought a quart at the Millennial Food Store (my name).

It tasted very similar to whole milk, which I did not remember.
