Recent clusters of foodborne botulism in Italy – one linked to guacamole consumption in Sardinia, and a more lethal one in Calabria involving sandwiches containing oil-preserved vegetables – signal a disturbing recurrence of a rare but devastating microbial hazard. These events, despite occurring within regulated commercial and semi-industrial food chains, underline the tenacity of Clostridium botulinum and demand renewed scientific and public health scrutiny.

Abstract
Recent clusters of foodborne botulism in Italy – one linked to guacamole consumption in Sardinia, and a more lethal one in Calabria involving sandwiches containing oil-preserved vegetables – signal a disturbing recurrence of a rare but devastating microbial hazard. These events, despite occurring within regulated commercial and semi-industrial food chains, underline the tenacity of Clostridium botulinum and demand renewed scientific and public health scrutiny.
