New Jersey-based S&M International is recalling Yang Sheng cooked salted duck eggs as they may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that causes botulism.
The product was distributed between August and October 2012 to outlets in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Michigan, reported Foodsafetynews.com.
It is vacuum-packed in plastic with six eggs per 12.69 oz. package and beares the UPC 6949682803568, while the lot code YS12-02C is printed on the product's boxes.
The New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets found that the product was not processed in a favourable manner that stops the growth of the bacteria.

Symptoms of botulism poisoning include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness.
