Consumer complaints about cans that look swollen led to the discovery of the contamination, as bulging is often a warning sign of the botulism. The US Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers however that normal-looking cans can also contain botulism.
The affected products are sold in 6.5-ounce cans and the batch was produced last March and bears the code C271C. They have been distributed in the Northeast of the USA.
