This action makes sense. Wouldn't it be something if weather conditions can affect the toxin levels in ackees. Live and learn.

Coalition to research ackee toxin
In response to the recall of a shipment of canned ackees exported to the United States from Jamaica, the local exporters association is coordinating a study into levels of hypoglycins in ackees exported from Jamaica.
Hypoglycin is the toxic substance which was found in abnormal levels in the recent shipments of canned ackees.
At a press conference hosted Wednesday morning by the Jamaica Exporters Association (JEA), it was revealed that the study will begin next week.
The JEA, the Jamaica Agro Processors Association and the US Food and Drug Administration will work together on the study which will focus on how weather conditions result in higher levels of the harmful toxin in ackees.
The recall of the ackees has sparked fears that the United States could impose another ban on the shipment of ackees from Jamaica.
The canned ackees were distributed to outlets in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York.
One one coco full basket.
