GL Food Wholesale, Golden Dharma International Corp., Waylong Marketing, and Mandalay Trading Corporation are recalling Tausi Brand Salted Black Beans because they may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum or other spoilage organisms. The recalls were announced in the weekly FDA enforcement report. There are three separate recalls because the product codes and “best by” dates are different and because the distribution of the product is different for each firm.
The beans are in a 180 gram (6.34 ounce) package, 100 cans to the carton. The product is in a two piece can with a single seam. The can is wrapped with a label containing red, yellow, and black text.
Clostridium botulinum is a bacteria that can cause paralysis and death with just a few cells. Symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. The symptoms will progress to paralysis if untreated. In foodborne botulism, symptoms usually begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food, but they can occur after 6 hours and as late as 10 days.
