Deadly Canning: Why Homemade Stew and Pumpkin Puree Can Kill You

Health 08/13/2026, 09:28
🛑 CAUTION: Deadly Canning! The canning season is in full swing, but some products CANNOT be canned at home under any circumstances. 🥩 Homemade stew in a pot: Botulism spores die only at 120°C. Water boils at 100°C — without a pressure canner, you risk your life. 🧈 Dairy products: Fat protects bacteria from heat. Butter and cheese in jars are a ticking time bomb. 🎃 Thick purees: Heat does not penetrate the center of the jar. Pumpkin and zucchini in puree form can become toxic. 🍅 Spoiled vegetables: Mold penetrates deep inside, and the loss of acidity kills the marinade's protection. Do not risk your health for the sake of saving money! Read the full analysis of dangerous products in our article. #canning #safety #botulism #health #preserves #Styler
