The California Department of Public Health is warning consumers not to eat Shemshad's Litteh Pickle and Pickeled Diced Vegetables, Eggplant, Garlic, and HaftBijar food products because they were produced outside of the CDPH Cannery Program oversight, making them susceptible to potential Clostridium botulinum contamination. Products were sold at grocery stores in southern California including Woodland Hills Market in Woodland Hills, Q Market in Van Nuys, and Wholesome Choice Market in Irvine.
Shemshad, is voluntarily recalling its Litteh Pickle and Pickeled Diced Vegetables, Eggplant, Garlic, and HaftBijar products. These products are under the Shemshad brand name in 16 ounce glass jars with screw-on metal lids. The recall applies to all lot codes of these products, except for the Pickled Diced Vegetables and Pickled Garlic with the lot code SD31123125 and SG31223125 respectively.
Botulism toxin is odorless and colorless, so consumers will be unable to determine if their product is affected. Consumers who have any of this product or any foods made with this product should discard them immediately.
In case you experience Botulism symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
