NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Roland Foods,
LLC of New York, New York is
initiating a voluntary recall of its red and black lumpfish caviar
products, which were manufactured at Ora ehf in Iceland, because they have the potential to be
contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can
cause life-threatening illness or death. Consumers are warned not
to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled.
Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause
the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision
and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing,
weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation
may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems
should seek immediate medical attention.
The Red Lumpfish Caviar and Black Lumpfish Caviar,
sold in glass jars, were distributed nationwide
to retailers and foodservice distributors across the United States. The UPC code is
located on the back of the label, under the bar code.
The following products are subject to the voluntary recall:
