MAMTAKIM, Inc. is recalling 49 cases of Belevini brand Dried Salted Whole Smelts because they were found to be uneviscerated, which can harbor Clostridium botulinum spores. The recall includes two varieties—Belevini KORUSHKA and Belevini BICHKI—sold in 5.29 oz vacuum-sealed packages. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Uneviscerated fish can contain botulinum spores in the gut that produce a deadly toxin when vacuum-packed; consuming the toxin can cause botulism, a severe and potentially fatal form of food poisoning that causes paralysis.
