What are foodborne toxins? Foodborne toxins are toxins that are found in different foods that can cause illness when they are consumed. Some are naturally occurring toxins that are found in certain foods, and others are produced by bacteria that have contaminated a food item.
Toxins can be present even when the bacteria or other causative organisms are not, and it is possible to develop food intoxication by eating animals that have consumed toxin-producing organisms, as seen with some types of shellfish poisoning. Onset of illness is usually very rapid and people can become very sick.oodborne intoxication is caused by ingesting food containing toxins formed by bacteria which resulted from the bacterial growth in the food item. The live microorganism does not have to be consumed.
