Botulism warning issued for watermelon jam

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is warning that jars of watermelon jelly that were sold at charity booths around B.C. last summer could contain botulism.

A rare case of botulism on Vancouver Island has sparked a recall of 120 ml jars of the jelly made by Jamnation Fine Foods, according to Sion Shyng, a food safety specialist at the BCCDC.

“The jelly was sold through the British Columbia Huntingtons Research Foundation charity booths in Duncan, and may also have been sold in other parts of province,” explains Shyng.
