A meat sauce sold in Ontario and Quebec is being recalled because of a possible bacterial contamination.

Gaston Vachon is recalling all 450 and 900 millilitre sizes of Homestyle Meat Sauce because they may allow the growth of a bacteria that causes botulism.

Health Canada says recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

It adds food contaminated with the (Clostridium botulinum) toxin may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
