Recall notice

Canada

The CFIA announced the recall of certain Manila clams by Evergreen International Foodstuffs Ltd. because of a marine biotoxin which causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

CFIA advises consumers not to eat the recalled products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The products were distributed to British Columbia and Ontario. These Manila clams may also have been sold in bulk or in smaller packages with or without a label and may not bear the same brand, product name, or code as described below:

- Evergreen Int'l Foodstuffs Ltd. Manila clams (25 lb) Harvest Date: Sep 16, 2020. Processing Date: Sep 17, 2020. Harvest Location: B.C. 17-20. Lot# 21057.

Paralytic shellfish toxins are a group of natural toxins that sometimes accumulate in bivalve shellfish that include oysters, clams, scallops, mussels, and cockles. Non-bivalve shellfish, such as whelks, can also accumulate Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins. These toxins can cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) if consumed. Symptoms of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) include tingling and numbness of the lips, tongue, hands, and feet, and difficulty swallowing with an onset of a few minutes and up to 10 hours after consumption. In severe situations, this can proceed to difficulty walking, muscle paralysis, respiratory paralysis, and death.
