Philadelphia, Oct 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The baby food company that is known for its premier organic food range, Plum Organics is recalling baby food for fear of botulism contamination.
Plum Organics recalled its apple and carrot portable pouch foods over the possible botulism contamination after an apparent “error in formulation” according to the company.
The product was sold individually throughout the country at the various Toys-R-Us and Babies-R-Us stores. The recalled product is sold in 4.22-ounce pouches, with a “best by” date of May 21, 2010, and UPC 890180001221.
“The product did not meet the FDA guidelines for proper acidity level,” Paul Gerhardt, a member of the Plum Organics action team, said in a statement.
According to sources, Botulism is a serious illness that causes flaccid paralysis of muscles. It is caused by a neurotoxin, generically called botulinum toxin that is made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When an infant consumes the spores of the botulinum bacteria, Infant botulism occurs. The ingested bacteria, in the infant’s body then grow in the intestines and release the neurotoxin. Botulinum neurotoxin is considered one of the most potent, lethal substances known.
