USA – Company recalls pickled products because of danger of botulism poisoning

Food Safety News

The California Department of Public Health is warning consumers not to eat multiple varieties of Shamshad Food’s jarred food items because they were produced outside of the 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 quick serious illness and death.

The following varieties of Shemshad Food jarred products should not be consumed:

  • Litteh Pickle
  • Pickled Diced Vegetables (all lot codes except SD31123125)
  • Pickled Eggplants (all lot codes)
  • Pickled Garlic (all lot codes except SG31223125)
  • Pickled HaftBijar (all lot codes)

The food products were sold at grocery stores in southern California including Woodland Hills Market in Woodland Hills, Q Market in Van Nuys, and Wholesome Choice Market in Irvine. Consumers that observe the product being offered for sale are encouraged to report the activity to the health department toll free complaint line at 800-495-3232.
