Subject: Chili Garlic Confit recalled due to the presence of Clostridium botulinum.

Products Recalled: The Chili Garlic Confit product of the brand Delusional Sauce Co. is recalled due to the presence of Clostridium botulinum.

Problem:

The implicated product is being removed from the market because it might facilitate the growth of Clostridium botulinum. The product recall was first initiated by the firm.

Consumers are instructed not to consume, sell or distribute the recalled product and must return the product to the store from where they were purchased.
Consumers must check with a healthcare provider if they have any symptoms after consuming the product.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is assessing the food safety of the available food and beverage products, which can result in the recall of other items [1].

Scientific Evidence:

Botulism is an uncommon disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The manifestations of botulism include food poisoning, wound infection, and newborn botulism.

The word “botulus” is derived from the Latin word “botulus,” which means “sausage,” because historically, undercooked sausages were linked to food sickness. Consumption of foods contaminated with preformed botulinum toxin causes foodborne botulism.
Food that has been home-canned is the most popular source. Sporadic outbreaks are extremely uncommon. There are no sensory or cognitive abnormalities. However, respiratory paralysis may result in respiratory failure and death. Common symptoms include dysphasia, dysarthria, diplopia, descending symmetric flaccid paralysis of voluntary muscles, loss of deep tendon reflexes and constipation [2].

What Regulations clarify:

The regulation clarifies that if a person has become sick by consuming a recalled product, the person should immediately contact a healthcare professional or a doctor.
Recalled products should not be consumed, disposed of, or returned to the seller. Despite not having a rotten appearance or smell, microbial contamination of food with Clostridium botulinum toxin can cause illness [1].
