USA – California health officials issue public warning about Shemshad products because of botulism risk

Posted on January 5, 2024 by KSW | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

The California Department of Public Health is warning consumers not to eat Shemshad’s Mulberry Molasses and Mulberry Jam jarred food products because they were produced outside of the health department’s Cannery Program oversight, making them susceptible to contamination with Clostridium botulinum.

Ingestion of botulism toxin from improperly processed jarred and canned foods may lead to serious illness and death.

There is concern that consumers may have the products in their homes because of their long shelf life.

Consumers that observe the product being offered for sale are encouraged to report the activity to the CDPH toll-free complaint line at 800-495-3232.

Danger : Possible presence of Clostridium botulinum

Supplier communication:

Graying on the surface of part of our production, linked to a non-compliant supplier ingredient. This situation does not exclude a Clostridium botulinum risk.

Information :

Botulism is a rare disease that most commonly results from eating contaminated food containing botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum . This toxin develops in particular in canned or sausage products made at home or at home for which the sterilization process has not been mastered. Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after ingesting contaminated food, but they can develop earlier or later (2 hours up to 10 days). Botulinum poisoning is characterized by neurological signs: sensation of blurred vision, drooping eyelids, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle weakness. Digestive signs (constipation, vomiting, diarrhea) often accompany neurological signs.

The products can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
