Clostridium Botulinum is often spotted in traces, which are reproductive cells produced by organisms such as plants and fungi.
The traces are found in seafood and can be dangerous if they start producing the toxic chemical neurotoxin.
This can lead to botulism – a rare food poisoning that can affect a person's body within 12 to 36 hours after taking the food affected, according to the food safety and inspection service (FSIS).
In some cases, however, the symptoms of botulism are registered to start between four and eight days after intake.
Nausea, vomiting and dizziness are some of the early symptoms that an individual can endure as soon as they take the poison unintentionally.
Individuals can then suffer from neurological symptoms such as double visibility, loss of throat and mouth functions and breathing difficulties.
This food poisoning can occasionally be fatal and caused by respiratory failure or airway obstruction.
From now on, no diseases or deaths have been reported by taking the recalled tuna products.
