With the possibility of more people attempting home canning. you may
find 
a fact sheet from Kansas State University helpful. The highlights of
this 
fact sheet are:

-In February 2009 a Spokane woman and two young children were sickened
by 
botulism from improperly canned green beans from a home garden. 
-Use a pressure canner and follow a tested recipe to safely preserve 
beans. 
-Clostridium botulinum spores are common in soil.  The spores can be
heat 
activated and turn into cells.  The growing cells create a toxin leading

to botulism in oxygen-free canned foods. 

Download the fact sheet at:

Also, we have links on our Website to several articles on the Center for

Home Food Preservation Website mentioned in the article. Find our links
