FDA Warns Consumers and Retailers of Botulism Risk from Ungutted, Salt-Cured Alewives (Gaspereaux) Fish
Fish may have been sold in Florida
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning retailers and food service operators not to offer for sale ungutted, salt-cured alewives (also called gaspereaux fish) from Michel & Charles LeBlanc Fisheries Ltd., CAP-PELÈ, New Brunswick, Canada, because the fish may contain the Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) toxin. Consumers should not consume the product.
C. botulinum toxin can cause botulism, a serious and sometimes life-threatening condition. The toxin cannot be removed by cooking or freezing.
The fish were imported into the United States and sent to these Florida distributors:
Quirch Foods Inc.
Den-Mar Exports LLC
Dolphin Fisheries Inc.
Labrador & Son Food Products Inc.
The fish were packed in 30-pound, white plastic pails with green plastic lids. The brand name "Michel & Charles LeBlanc Fisheries Ltd.," appears on the side of the pails, as does the phrase "Product of Canada." One hundred seventy-three (173) 30 lb. pails of fish were distributed. The fish may have been repacked or sold loose by retailers in Florida.
The FDA considers any ungutted fish over five inches in length that is salt-cured, dried, or smoked, such as the ungutted, salt-cured alewives/gaspereaux fish, to be adulterated because it could contain the C. botulinum toxin. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services discovered the ungutted alewives/gaspereaux fish from Michel & Charles LeBlanc Fisheries Ltd. being sold in stores and alerted the FDA. The FDA prohibits the sale of this adulterated product in the United States.
To date, there have been no reported illnesses associated with this product. However, consumers who have purchased ungutted, salt-cured alewives/gaspereaux fish in Florida should contact the place of purchase to determine if the fish they bought originated from Michel & Charles LeBlanc Fisheries Ltd. If the fish were from this company or if the source of the fish cannot be determined, consumers should immediately discard the fish and any foods made with these fish.
Symptoms of botulism poisoning can begin from six hours to 10 days after eating food that contains the toxin. Symptoms may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth and muscle weakness that affects first the shoulders and then moves progressively down the rest of the body. Botulism poisoning can also cause paralysis of the breathing muscles which can result in death unless assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation) is provided.
Individuals who show these symptoms and who may have recently eaten alewives/gaspereaux fish should seek immediate medical attention.

Cambrooke Foods Voluntarily Recalls All Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese Products Because of Possible Health Risk
Company Simultaneously Withdrawing All Peanot Butter™ Product As PrecautionContact: Cambrooke Foods, LLC Recall Coordinator, 1-866-456-9776 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- December 12, 2008 -- Cambrooke Foods, LLC, of Framingham, MA, is announcing a voluntary recall of all batches of its Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese (“Cheddar Wizard,” “Herb & Garlic,” and “Plain” flavors).
Cambrooke Foods® is undertaking this voluntary recall as a precaution because some of these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. During routine batch testing before shipment, Listeria was detected in batches of Imitation Cream Cheese at the company’s Randolph, MA facility. These batches of Imitation Cream Cheese products were destroyed and never shipped to customers. No illnesses have been reported for any batch of Imitation Cream Cheese. To be cautious and proactive, Cambrooke Foods® is also conducting a market withdrawal of all batches of its Low Protein Peanot Butter™ because it is produced using the same machinery used to produce the Imitation Cream Cheese products. Testing has not confirmed Listeria contamination in any batch of Low Protein Peanot Butter™ nor have any adverse events been reported as a result of its consumption. No other Cambrooke Foods® product is produced using this machinery. These products are sold to customers with special dietary needs. These products are distributed directly to consumers and to a limited number of distributors in the U.S. and Canada. The company has ceased the production and distribution of these products. Cambrooke Foods® is working directly with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the cause of the contamination. Customers should discard all units in their possession and contact the company to have their account credited. Customers should register their notice of this recall with the company by visiting: http://www.cambrookefoods.com/information/product_recall.php. If there are questions, contact Cambrooke Foods® at 1-866-456-9776, ext. 1015, or via email at safetyfirst@cambrookefoods.com. # Photo: Product Label
