# Major Recall Alert: Sea Moss Gel Superfood in Various Flavors (16 FL OZ Glass Jars) Recalled Due to Potential Foodborne Illness - Botulism
On January 9, 2026, Diva Fam Inc. announced an urgent **voluntary recall** of its **True Sea Moss brand Sea Moss Gel Superfood** products, citing a **potential health risk** due to possible contamination with **botulism-causing toxins**. The recall affects **all flavors and batches** of this product, distributed nationwide via retailers and online platforms, including the brand’s own website.
Botulism is a rare but serious condition that can cause severe harm, including muscle weakness and breathing difficulties, and this proactive recall highlights the importance of **food safety and compliance with regulatory standards**.
## Why This Recall is Important
Botulism is a rare form of foodborne illness caused by toxins from the bacterium *Clostridium botulinum*. Consuming contaminated products can pose serious risks, including:
- **Symptoms of Botulism**: Weakness, dizziness, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and, in severe cases, paralysis or respiratory failure.
- **Severity**: Botulism can lead to life-threatening complications if untreated.
The recall stems from the **lack of proper regulatory authorization** and inadequate **temperature and pH monitoring records** during manufacturing. Without adhering to these critical safety protocols, pH-controlled food products like these may become vulnerable to microbial contamination—including toxins linked to botulism.
Although **no reported illnesses** have been associated with the affected products so far, Diva Fam Inc. and regulatory authorities are taking this precautionary measure to **prioritize consumer safety.**
