What the authority reported

Bacillus cereus is a type of bacteria which can be found in the environment. It can form spores and toxins which are not destroyed by cooking. Bacillus cereus causes two types of foodborne illness: 1) a vomiting intoxication caused by the presence of a toxin in the food. 2) a diarrhoeal infection due to the ingestion of bacterial cells which produce a toxin in the small intestine. Symptoms caused by Bacillus cereus can include abdominal pain, stomach cramping, watery diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. Depending on the type of illness caused, symptoms can appear 30 minutes to 24 hours after consuming affected food, and last for 6 to 24 hours.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
