    Abstract:
    Insufficient conserved home-made products are the main cause of botulism in Denmark. We present a case of botulism caused by a commercially produced vegetable pie conserved by traditional bottling without addition of preservatives. Clostridium botulinum was grown from faeces of the index case indicating an intestinal infection. An action plan set up by the medical and veterinarian authorities functioned well and further spread of the disease was avoided. More cases of botulism may be seen in the future, if procedures ensuring proper conservation in food production are not adhered to.
