Germany – Creamy Almond Ready to eat vegan sauce – Clostridium botulinum

LMW

Product image.JPG

Warning type: Food
Date of first publication: 07/09/2021
Product name:

Creamy Almond Ready to eat vegan sauce

Manufacturer (distributor): Joy in a Jar Friedberger Landstrasse 138 60316 Frankfurt am Main
Reason for warning:

Detection of Clostridium botulinum

Packaging Unit: 300 ml
Durability: 09/01/2021 (The best before date is on the back label)
Additional Information:

Toxins in food that are produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria can cause severe poisoning (food botulism), which can be life-threatening. Already a few hours after consumption, paralysis can begin, which manifests itself as blurred vision, double vision, photophobia, swallowing disorders and dry mouth. The paralysis can progressively affect the respiratory and heart muscles. Possible early symptoms are headache, diarrhea and vomiting.

People who have consumed the affected food and develop symptoms within 36 hours of consumption should seek medical treatment immediately and suspect food botulism. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.

The product was marketed through two retail outlets in Frankfurt am Main and one retail outlet in Berlin. All customers who had purchased the product online were informed individually by the company by email.

Further information can be found in the enclosed customer information.

Salmonella

Durability: 16.09.2021

A salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually subside on their own after several days. Infants, toddlers, the elderly and people with a weakened immune system in particular can develop more severe disease processes. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and advise them of a possible salmonella infection.
Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.
