New York-based Kawasho Foods USA Inc. issued a recall for some of its canned shrimp follow reports that cans were swelling, leaking and bursting, according to a recall notice.
The recall specifically mentions potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum, which is a bacterium that produces dangerous toxins under low-oxygen conditions, according to the World Health Organization.
Kawasho Foods USA, Inc. voluntarily recalls a lot of canned shrimp that may be contaminated with bacteria. "Foodborne botulism, caused by consumption of improperly processed food, is a rare but potentially fatal disease if not diagnosed rapidly and treated with antitoxin," the WHO said. Health officials noted that homemade canned, preserved or fermented foodstuffs require extra preparation given that they are a common source of foodborne botulism.
No illnesses or "adverse consequences" related to the product have been reported to date, according to the recall notice.
