A vendor at the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market is recalling one of his soups because of fears it may have spoiled.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a public notice that carrot soup from The Soup Boy may permit growth of the bacteria that causes botulism.

The soup was sold in unlabelled glass jars and has no indicated best before date.

"If you have soup that has not been refrigerated or if you notice an outwards bulge on the lid please discard the soup," says Michael LeBlanc in a post on The Soup Boy Facebook page.

CFIA says the recall was triggered by a consumer complaint, but there have been no reports of related illness.

Food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum toxin may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick, says CFIA.

Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, blurred or double vision, dry mouth, respiratory failure and paralysis. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

LeBlanc says his products are sold as fresh and are meant to be eaten in "a reasonable amount of time."

"We will be working with officials to try to determine a more precise shelf life," says the vendor.

He's offering to replace any jars of his soup that may have spoiled.

CFIA says it is conducting an investigation which may lead to the recall of other products.
