Heads up, Canada! A wave of food recalls is sweeping across the country, and a bunch of them are tied to a growing salmonella outbreak that’s already sent at least 10 people to hospital and sickened dozens of others.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has flagged a long list of product recalls lately for all kinds of reasons, and it’s stacked with snacks, sweets and everyday staples that might already be in your kitchen.
Shoppers across Canada are being warned to check their buys from major retailers like Costco, Walmart and 7-Eleven after a wave of food recalls has hit some popular favourites.
These food recalls in Canada involve everything from plant-based spreads and pastries to viral Dubai chocolate and pistachios — and the risks range from dangerous bacterial contamination like salmonella and listeria to undeclared allergens and even pieces of plastic.
Some of the recalled items come from big names like Boursin, Laura Secord and 7-Eleven’s house label. There’s also a pistachio recall and a chocolate recall grabbing attention right now due to their link to the ongoing salmonella outbreak.
To help you stay safe (and avoid a seriously gross surprise mid-bite), here’s a full breakdown of the latest CFIA recalls in Canada — including which brands are affected, where the items were sold and what to do if you’ve already bought one.
