The Chai Box® Recalls Bottles of Chai Concentrate Mix for Botulism Risk
In September 2022, The Chai Box announced a voluntary recall for bottles of Chai Concentrate Mix due to a risk of Botulism, a severe type of food poisoning that can cause paralysis or death.
What is the Problem?
The recalled bottles of Chai Concentrate Mix may have been under-processed during the commercial sterilization process. This “could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to life-threatening illness,” according to the recall notice.
What Products Were Recalled?
The recall includes 64-oz. plastic bottles and 16-oz. glass bottles that are labeled with best-by dates between 09/22/2022 and 03/16/2023. The products were shipped nationwide to consumers.
The following products are included in the recall:
- 16-oz. glass bottles Chai Concentrate Mix (UPC 7 93611 81925 2)

Did Anyone Get Sick?
No illnesses were reported as of September 2022. The problem was discovered during a process review by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
What is Botulism?
Botulism is a rare but serious type of food poisoning. Although rare, botulism can be caused by commercially-produced foods that are improperly sterilized, canned, preserved, or fermented.
Botulism is caused by a powerful toxin that is produced by the bacteria C. botulinum. Foods that are contaminated with the botulinum toxin do not look or smell spoiled, but taking even a tiny sip can be deadly.
Symptoms of Botulism Usually Descend Down the Body
The symptoms of botulism usually start with muscle weakness in the face, eyes, or mouth that spread down the body to the legs. If the lungs become paralyzed, a person can rapidly suffer from breathing difficulties and death.
Warning Signs & Symptoms
- Difficulty swallowing
- Muscle weakness
- Double vision
- Drooping eyelids
- Blurry vision
- Slurred speech
