Its more of a precaution than anything but Canada's Food Inspection Agency has issued a warning about some liver pate sold at the Lunenburg Farmers Market. There are fears it may contain a certain bacterium that causes botulism. The Agency says Hausmacher Liver Pate from Webber Foods was sold in unlabelled glass jars at the market from Nov. 13th to Dec. 5th last year. The product was also sold at the Hammonds Plains Farmers' Market. Webber Foods owner Chris Webber says the fear is people might not store his product in a refrigerator as they should.
The Food Inspection Agency suggests consumers who have the product should just throw it out. Food contaminated with the toxin may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. There have been no reported illnesses associated with eating the pate.
