In this course Fungus release poisonous chemicals called mycotoxins into chutney. Sometimes chutney can spoil due to different types of bacteria’s, some of them do not need oxygen presence too.

If we eat chutney with these toxins, it can affect our health and leads to food poisoning and diarrhoea. So, it should be checked first, by smell or taste, before it is eaten.

Step 3- Take your jars out from the steel stove and place them on a clean surface at room temperature.

Step 4- let it cool under room temperature, when the jars are slightly warm, quickly fill the jar with fresh chutney.

Step 5- You must ensure that the lid is also slightly warm and it is properly closing the jar. Thank you for reading this article, if you find it informative, like it and give your valuable feedback in the comments below.
