Seabear Company is recalling 16,520 pouches of SeaBear Smokedhouse Salmon Chowder and Alehouse Clam Chowder because a defect in the pouch seal could allow for the growth of Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria causes botulism, a serious and potentially fatal form of food poisoning. No illnesses have been reported to date. The products were sold in 12-oz flexible pouches nationwide. If you have these products, you should return them to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away immediately.
The product seals may fail, allowing Clostridium botulinum bacteria to contaminate the food. Botulism can cause symptoms such as general weakness, dizziness, double vision, and trouble with speaking or swallowing, and can progress to paralysis of breathing muscles and death.
