Bolthouse Farms controversies

Carrot juice botulism outbreak and recalls

In September 2006, Canadian and United States authorities took recall and warning actions involving Bolthouse Farms 100% Carrot Juice and other products after reported botulism cases associated with consumption. The reference account describes six cases in the United States and Canada, including severe paralysis and respiratory complications. Bolthouse Farms said that inadequate refrigeration might have contributed and later published consumer information about the episode.
