CHARLOTTETOWN – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a warning against consuming beef and chicken that was bottled by a Prince Edward Island man and sold through classified ads in provincial newspapers.
The agency says the meat products made by Robert Waite of Tignish, P.E.I., carry a risk of botulism.

It says the meats sold in 500-millilitre jars with no labels, up to and including Nov. 26, should not be consumed.
The warning is the result of agency testing that suggests the meats may permit the growth of the bacteria responsible for botulism.
In its notice, the agency says the contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but it can still lead to sickness
