SeaBear Chowder Recalled for Botulism Risk
On March 15, 2025, SeaBear Company of Anacortes, Washington, recalled two types of seafood chowder (Smoked Salmon Chowder and Alehouse Clam Chowder) in plastic pouches due to a risk of Botulism, a potentially deadly type of food poisoning.
What is the Problem?
The recalled SeaBear Smokehouse chowders were packaged in a plastic pouch that may not be sealed properly, which could allow for contamination with the bacteria that causes Botulism.
According to the recall:
“SeaBear initiated a voluntary recall after they became aware of a pouch seal issue from a customer complaint. Upon further investigation, they identified a mechanical issue with equipment, which caused seals to not fully bond and made some pouches leak.

What is Botulism?
Botulism causes muscle weakness and paralysis that spreads down the body. Left untreated, botulism can paralyze the breathing muscles and cause death.
Botulism is an illness that is caused by a toxin that is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that is widespread in the environment. Food that is contaminated with the botulism toxin may not look, smell, or taste spoiled, but even a small sip can be deadly.
