Island Soups Recall Information
Clostridium botulinum can cause a potentially fatal type of food poisoning known as botulism. Symptoms of botulism may include general weakness, dizziness, double- vision, and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation may also be common symptoms.
The various recalled soup products were distributed through Island Soup’s e-commerce website and are packaged in 16oz glass jars containing white lids and a white plastic with brown lettering safety seal. Upon inspection the FDA concluded that the firm does not have valid process schedules or process documentation to ensure that these soups products have been sufficiently processed to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum.
The recalled lot numbers and products are as follows:
- GUNGO PEAS SOUP, NET WT. 16OZ
- GUNGO PEAS SOUP NO MEAT, NET WT. 16OZ
- RED PEAS SOUP, NET WT. 16OZ
- RED PEAS SOUP NO MEAT, NET WT. 16OZ
- MANNISH WATER, NET WT. 16OZ
- FISH SOUP, NET WT. 16OZ
All products are coded BEST BEFORE dates July 2015 through June 2018. The company press release cautioned “Consumers should segregate and destroy any of the identified products.”
