A Vancouver Island grocery chain is recalling one of its in-house snack mixes over concerns of possible salmonella contamination.
According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Country Grocer brand Super Mac Mix is being recalled from the marketplace due to potential microbial contamination.
The recall applies to both the unsalted and salted versions of the Super Mac Mix, which were sold in bulk between November 18th, 2025 and February 24th, 2026.
The products do not have a UPC code and were available in variable quantities.
The affected items were sold at multiple Country Grocer locations across Vancouver Island, including stores in Nanaimo, Chemainus, Cedar, Lake Cowichan, Duncan, Cobble Hill, Salt Spring Island and at the Royal Oak location on West Saanich Road in Victoria.
Customers are being advised not to consume, serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled products. Anyone who purchased the Super Mac Mix during the affected dates should either throw it out or return it to the store where it was bought.
Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness.
Young children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious complications. Symptoms can include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
In some cases, long-term complications such as severe arthritis may develop. Anyone who believes they may have become ill after consuming the product is advised to contact a healthcare provider.
The CFIA says it is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of additional products if necessary.
