Cielo Glamping Maritime in Haut-Shippagan, New Brunswick, Canada, is recalling bottled clams because they may permit the growth of Clostridium botulinum. The unlabeled bottled clams were distributed in New Brunswick.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned consumers not to consume 500-milileter and one-liter bottles of unlabeled clams.
“Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. Food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum toxin may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick,” CFIA said in a press release.
Eating food containing Clostridium botulinum can result in botulism, a severe form of food poisoning that result in death.
The recall was triggered by a CFIA inspection. There have been no reported illnesses from consuming the products to date.
“The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings,” the agency said.
