Kraft Heinz is voluntarily recalling its Taco Bell Salsa con Queso Mild Cheese Dip due to a risk of botulism, according to a release from the company.

About 7,000 cases are being recalled because the product is showing signs of product separation, which can lead to a potential health hazard.

The separation could allow for the growth of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can cause life-threatening illness or death.

Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it doesn't look or smell spoiled.

Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause these symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing.

The company says consumers who purchased the product should not eat it and return it to the store for an exchange or full refund.
