Richard’s Too Good BBQ Sauces Recalled for Botulism Risk

richard's-recall-botulismRichard’s Rubs & Seasonings is recalling Richard’s Too Good BBQ Sauce, Richard’s Too Good Hot Sauce and Richard’s Too Good Teriyaki Sauce for possible botulism risk. Botulism is a potentially fatal foodborne illness.

The sauces were improperly processed and have the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a nerve toxin which can cause botulism. Botulism, which causes paralysis, cannot be spread from person to person. Symptoms, which usually develop within 12 to 36 hours of exposure, include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness beginning with facial muscles and moving down. Respiratory failure occurs when it reaches the muscle groups that control lung function. Anyone who ate one of the sauces and is experiencing symptoms should seek medical help immediately.

The recalled sauces, packaged in 12 oz tall glass bottles with metal screw caps and black heat resistant tamper seals, were sold in western Washington grocery stores and butcher shops in Kitsap, Snohomish and King counties. They were distributed up to the date of June 17, 2014.
