Baby Food Recall

This US Baby Food Recall, extends to Canada, as there are many locations where you can buy and we know a lot of cross-border shopping mommies!

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is closely following an announcement by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about certain jars of Earth's Best Organic 2 Apple Peach Barley Wholesome Breakfast baby food. There is a risk that this product is contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. Toxins produced by this bacteria may cause botulism, a life-threatening illness.

The U.S. FDA has confirmed that there were no direct retail sales to Canadian consumers of the recalled product. However, this product has been available through internet sales. The CFIA is warning the public not to consume the product.

There have been no known illnesses reported in Canada or the U.S. linked to this product.
