The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) has announced that its recall of jam and jelly products manufactured by Jamnation Fine Foods will include all varieties of the product. The recall has been made after fears of botulism were raised about the products.

It was on Tuesday that the BCCDC has asked Jamnation to immediately withdraw its Watermelon Jelly from the market. The jelly had been distributed in 120ml jars at a number of charity booths by the Company as part of the Huntingtons Research Foundation fundraiser.

Speaking over telephone, President of the charity group, Eric Halstrom, informed that their organization had sold around 100 jars of jelly. He was quick to reiterate that their group was of the opinion that the botulism incident was isolated.

However, in contrast to the opinion presented by Halstrom, BCCDC has decided to expand its recall after having a word with the representatives of Jamnation.

Physician Epidemiologist for BCCDC, Dr. Eleni Galanis, said: "The signs and symptoms of botulism cover a wide spectrum. Symptoms can begin anywhere from six hours to one week after someone has eaten food containing the toxin".

Meanwhile, the woman who had tested positive for the botulism toxin has been stated to be in a stable condition.
