Canning

[SealDriver]

It is my understanding that the United States Department of Agriculture suggest canning at 240 degrees for low acid foods. Even when you kill botulism the toxins botulism produces can still be present and harmful.

Personally and this is only my opinion, unless I felt that the food was totally safe I wouldn't feed it to my family. Should the SHTF, hospitals will be very busy and getting help for the victims of my canning experiments may be difficult to find.

Also the storage and cost of any food that may be harmful and therefore unusable would make it a no-go situation for me. As much as a like the idea of canning it's something that I wouldn't spend out on in the present circumstances.
