The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CIFA) says a Nova Scotia brand is recalling jam after a potential toxic bacteria was detected.
My Grandfather’s Farm is recalling its Pumpkin Pie Jam because it “may permit the growth of Clostridium botulinum,” a dangerous bacteria that causes botulism.
The food agency says the bacteria toxin can be invisible and odor-free.
Symptoms of botulism in adults can include facial paralysis, unreactive pupils, difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, difficulty speaking including slurred speech, and a change in sound of voice, including hoarseness, said the food agency.
