Harmful chemicals have been detected.
The clams were recalled after tests by the FDA, identified "detectable levels" of per- andpolyfluoroalkyle Substances (PFAS). These "chemicals manufactured by humans" are often used in consumer and industrial products, but they can have serious implications for health.
"The PFAs do not decompose easily and certain types have proven to be accumulated in the environment and in our body," said the reminder ad.
Consequently, previous studies have suggested that exposure to these chemicals can cause an increase in cholesterol levels, development effects, a decrease in the immune response, changes in liver function and certain cancers. In pregnant women, PFAs can also increase high blood pressure and lead to a blood condition called preeclampsia.
You will want to get rid of these clams if they are in your pantry.
Given the serious risks associated with exposure to PFAs, consumers are advised to throw affected products. But rest assured, your tuna is sure, because no other Bumble Bee product is currently subject to a reminder and no other clam product is affected, confirmed the company. Bumble Bee continues to work with the manufacturer in China "to investigate and resolve this question more".AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
