A new safety alert has been issued across Canada, and several GTA stores have been identified as locations where affected products were sold.

Shoppers in Mississauga, Toronto, Scarborough and Thornhill are being advised to double-check certain nut and bakery items purchased over the past year.

What’s behind the recall

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has expanded its investigation after multiple pistachio and pistachio-containing products tested positive for Salmonella. The recall includes raw pistachios, roasted pistachios, bulk nuts, chocolate products, baklava, pastries and other items. Because many of these foods were sold in bulk or clerk-served containers, some consumers may not have original labels or packaging at home.

GTA locations where affected products were sold

Below are the GTA stores identified as selling products now included in the recall. If you purchased nuts or pistachio-containing sweets from any of these retailers, check your cupboards or consider discarding the items.

Mississauga

Master Delight — Unit #3, 7033 Telford Way
Sold salted, lemon-salted and lightly salted Iranian pistachios in clerk-served bulk containers between November 2024 and January 2025.

Bulk Mart — 6198 Netherhart Road
Sold natural shelled pistachio kernels in 1 lb and 5 lb bags earlier this year.

Toronto / Scarborough

Mirch Masala Groceries Inc. — 860 Markham Road
Sold raw pistachio kernels in bulk and bagged formats during spring and early summer 2025.

Alzahraa Halal Meat Inc. — 2032 Lawrence Avenue East
Sold pistachios in 1 lb and 5 lb sizes between May and August 2025.

Thornhill

Here is a list of all the places that sold the affected product

Why this matters

Health officials warn that Salmonella can cause serious illness, including fever, stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea. Because many of these items were purchased from bulk bins or clerk-served containers, the risk of unlabelled products remaining in homes is higher.

What to do now

Check your cupboards, especially if you buy nuts or pistachio-based sweets from the stores listed above.

Throw out the product if you’re unsure whether it is part of the recall.

Wash containers and surfaces that may have come into contact with these foods.

Monitor for symptoms if you recently ate pistachio items and begin to feel unwell.
