In Sacramento, California, one person died and nine others were hospitalized after eating gas station nacho cheese contaminated with the toxin, likely from improper heating and storage.
Another death from botulism occurred in nearby Napa County earlier in May, according to county public health director Dr. Karen Relucio. "We are suspicious that canned goods might be the source, but we have not yet fully identified the food," she said.
