Carmel Restaurant Also In Canning Business Issues Recall Over Botulism

The Sea Harvest Restaurant of Carmel, CA is not a licensed cannery, but is recalling its canned cioppino sauce because there is a possibility it is contaminated with botulism.

The sauce was being canned by the Sea Harvest and sold as a retail product in the restaurant.

No illnesses have yet been associated with the recall.

The restaurant is cooperating with the California Department of Public Health and the Monterey County Health Department in the voluntary recall.

California officials said Sea Harvest does not have the required cannery license to produce the cioppino sauce.
