Plum Organics has recalled containers of its Apple & Carrot Baby Food in Portable Pouches. The recall includes pouches with a best buy date of May 21, 2010 and “890180001221” marked on the bottom of the package. Plum initiated the recall out of concern over risk of potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria associated with food borne botulism.
These have been sold at Toys-R-Us and Babies-R-Us stores, where they can be returned for a refund.
Here is information from the Center for Disease Control about botulism. It points out that:
According to Plum’s press release, the recall comes after testing showed that the “formulation was incorrect” and that “a mixing error was to blame which resulted in an improper blend of carrots and apples.” It’s unclear how an improper blend of carrots and apples would lead to contamination with Clostridium botulinum.
Though no information has been given as to exactly what caused any contamination in the Plum Organics pouches, botulism has been and remains a concern for commercial and home canned foods.
