OTTAWA (CP) - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned people Saturday not to eat certain President's Choice Baby Foods because the seals on some jars have been "found to be seriously compromised."


"The loss of seal may permit the entry of harmful bacteria into the product," the food agency said in a release.

The recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure, since no harmful bacteria have been found in the product, nor has there been any reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products, it added.

One of the potential harmful bacteria could be Clostridium botulinum. A build-up of toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria can cause botulism, a life-threatening illness.

Food contaminated with C. botulinum may or may not look or smell spoiled, the agency said.

All codes of the following President's Choice products sold in 128-millilitre glass jars are affected by this alert:

-Organics Strained Carrots, UPC 6038369269;

-Organics Strained Sweet Potato, UPC 6038369271;

-Organics Strained Peas & Brown Rice, UPC 6038369276;
