| FOOD SAFETY ALERT - CASE OF BOTULISM FROM CANNING Posted September 17, 2008 — A family from a neighboring county was admitted to MedCentral over the weekend due to botulism. Botulism is food poisoning caused by a bacterium growing on improperly sterilized canned meats and other preserved foods. Because of the economy, more people may be choosing to preserve foods by canning. The Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department is advising people with questions to contact The Ohio State University Extension office at 419-747-8755 for a copy of their brochure "It's So Easy to Preserve." Those with an internet connection can find information at www.ohioline.osu.edu (click on "Food"; click on "Food Preservation"). Another site with a great deal of information is the home canning website at the University of Georgia. Go to www.homefoodpreservation.com The Health Department has also posted a brochure online on what foods to throw after a power outage (see below). |
