Can baked beans give you food poisoning?

Although no illnesses or cases of people getting food poisoning after consuming the baked beans products in question have been reported, it's imperative that you take all precautions and throw away the recalled cans to not risk your health.

Will raw beans kill you?

Raw red kidney beans could potentially be dangerous, too. Uncooked beans contain the poison phytohaemagglutinin, which is also only neutralized by a least 10 minutes of cooking at boiling temperature. Don't cook them a degree below, though -- doing so only intensifies the poison.

What happens if I eat spoiled bread?

Can you die from eating Mouldy bread?

The short answer is no, you're probably not going to die from eating mold; you'll digest it like any other food, and as long as you've got a relatively healthy immune system, the most you'll experience is some nausea or vomiting due to the taste/idea of what you've just eaten.
