Well drying it out first is a good step. Botulism needs a certain moisture content. Sun dried vegetables also benefit from UV sterilization. And the sun is really good at that. Either way I believe if done the proper way it's fine, but you need to make absolutely sure that the water content in the zucchini is below the range since you don't have any acid.

Nope. I wouldn't touch it personally. The best way to dehydrate zucchini is by air or freeze drying. The key is you are doing this in a low ph low moisture hi oxygen environment.what you did was provide an initial environment of low ph low oxygen high moisture from the zucchini.... So no I would throw it out. It's zucchini and your health is worth more than 67 cents a pound.

As long as the temperature reaches 121 degrees celsius for 3 minutes, the spores will be destroyed.then it can be stored like this. It's how people made duck confit.

The thing you must watch out for is low oxygen low acid environments. When stuff goes bad in an oxygen rich environment.... You know it's off. But botulism has no smell or taste. And it is the toxin that kills you not the actual bacteria so cooking the food that's been contaminated won't remove the toxins.

Legit question, did you add any acid to this? Because if not, this is a perfect environment for botulism!

This will be the largest suprise pickachu face that coal power plants will make when the rivers that supply the water for the plants dries up.

This probably has to do with supply chain issues. Stores wil place other products on shelves that they are not able to fill up. Why did they choose pepperoni? I don't know, but as a father the wife is always sending me for kids medicine so I appreciate the thought.

It has the same velocity as geostationary objects, just in the opposite direction.
