Botulism is a rare disease that most often 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.

It is therefore recommended that people who have products belonging to the batches described above (and only to these batches) not consume them and destroy them, or return them to the point of sale.
