The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is recalling some Love Child Organics brand and PC Organics brand baby food pouches from the marketplace because they may contain packaging defects that may allow the entry of spoilage bacteria.
You can see the long list of recalled items at the CFIA web site, along with the common names, package sizes, best before dates, and UPC numbers. The recalled products include Love Child Organics Vegetarian Chili with Sweet Potato + Kale, Veggie Casserole with Lentils + Quinoa, Ratatouille with Lentils + White Beans, Pumpkin Risotto with Spinach + Chickpeas, and others. The PC Organics products that are recalled include Carrots strained baby food, Parsnip strained baby food, Chicken Casserole strained baby food, and Spaghetti Bolognese strained baby food, among others. You can also see pictures of the recalled product labels at that site.
These spoiled packages may not be necessarily dangerous. But they may cause upset stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea. The recall was triggered by consumer complaints. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to a recall of other products.
The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing the recalled products from the marketplace. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with these recalled products.
If you bought any of these products, do not eat them and do not feed them to your child, even if you are going to reheat them. Throw them away in a sealed or double wrapped packages, or take them back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
