Presence of histamine
People who may have this product are asked not to consume it and to return it to the point of sale where it was purchased.
Histamine poisoning is manifested by allergic-type reactions triggered when histamine is absorbed in high amounts. The symptoms most often encountered are: facial-cervical redness, rash, itching, tingling of the skin. They are generally followed by neurological disorders: headache, heart palpitations, dizziness. Secondary symptoms, of a gastrointestinal nature, may appear: nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea. Symptoms appear immediately or several hours after ingestion of food. They normally disappear within a few hours, but can exceptionally last for several days. In rare cases (high doses of histamine and sensitivity of the subject), the allergic reaction can then go up to histamine shock.
If you think you are having symptoms of histamine poisoning, seek medical advice immediately.

Clostridium botulinum poisoning in humans can begin from six hours to two weeks after eating food that contains the toxin. Symptoms may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness. Botulism poisoning can cause paralysis of the breathing muscles, which can result in death unless assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation) is provided.
