For any Canadian parents who have young children, the following press release was sent to me this morning….
Four varieties of My Organic Baby cereal recalled, possibly rancid
OTTAWA – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and a Vaughan, Ont.,-based company are warning the public not to consume four types of My Organic Baby cereal for infants, saying the product may be rancid.
My Organic Baby has issued a voluntary recall for 227 gram boxes of Barley, Brown Rice, Oatmeal and Multigrain cereal – all with ‘Best By’ dates of April 2008 and June 2008.
The affected product has been distributed nationally in Canada.
There has been one reported reaction associated with consumption of the cereal.
Consumers are warned that if the cereal has an unusual odour, or smells ‘off’ it should not be consumed. If an infant has been fed any of the products, parents are advised to monitor for possible symptoms of illness, and discontinue use.
Consumption of rancid food can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
