The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, warned the public to avoid consuming a watermelon jelly product sold through the British Columbia Huntingtons Research Foundation charity booth in 2010. 
Although the product was sold almost a year ago,  officials fear that the customer could still have their  jar in the pantry. The product, prepared by Jamnation Fine Foods, were sold in 120 ml size, and may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. These toxins may cause botulism. From the site:
 
“This recall was prompted by a suspect case of botulism on Vancouver Island, and the subsequent investigation of foods recently consumed by the individual,” explains Dr. Eleni Galanis, Physician Epidemiologist with BCCDC, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority. “Botulism is a serious illness, and it is critical that anyone who purchased this item discard it immediately. ”

Honestly- I didn't even know watermelon jelly was a thing?! Sounds tasty but all these recalls are weakening my trust in packaged foods!
