Manufacturing controls that could potentially affect the safety of the products listed above could not be demonstrated satisfactorily by the company.
The issue relates to controlling factors to prevent the growth and toxin production of Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin may cause a serious form of food poisoning called botulism and can be fatal.
A recall from customers is being carried out as a precautionary measure.
