Foster’s Food Fair – IGA would like to announce that Loblaw Companies Ltd. is recalling PC Organics baby food pouches due to a possible deadly bacteria that could form in the food.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says the pouches could allow the growth of Clostridium botulinum that can cause botulism. The agency adds that food contaminated with the toxin may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, blurred or double vision, dry mouth, respiratory failure and paralysis. In severe cases of illness, ingesting contaminated food can cause death.

Loblaw says a manufacturing error resulted in too much water in the product, which can allow the bacteria to grow under certain circumstances.

The recall includes all codes of President’s Choice Organics 128ml pouches:
