Camphor mothballs were accidentally added to a candy mixture in over 1,100 food bank hampers in Port Moody, B.C., according to the Fraser Health Authority.

The food hampers were distributed over the past two weeks by the Share Family and Community Services Food Bank, located at 2615 Clarke Street.

Fraser Health is warning that any families that received those hampers should put the candy containers in a bag and then throw the the bag in the garbage.

The container's contents should not be consumed and should be kept away from children and pets. The mothballs look like candy mints.

The health authority is also working with the food bank to notify families who received the hampers with the camphor mothballs.

Ingesting camphor can can result in irritation and burning of the mouth and throat, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, seizures and shortness of breath.
