The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a nation-wide recall for several types of organic baby food pouches sold under the PC Organics and Love Child Organics brands because of a packaging defect.
The agency said the defect could allow "spoilage microorganisms" to permeate the packaging, which could potentially make kids sick.
The recall was triggered by complaints from consumers, although no illnesses have been reported.
The recalled products include:
"Spoiled packages may not be necessarily dangerous and may be identifiable. However, if spoiled food is inadvertently consumed, it is advisable to watch for symptoms that may include upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea," the agency said.
These products should either be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is investigating, which could lead to other products being recalled.
