What You Should Do

Consumers are advised to check their homes for the recalled product. If you have this product in your possession, do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute it. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.

If you believe you have become sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause illness.

Why This Matters

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes deadly infections in young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. This recall was triggered by CFIA test results, though there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product to date.
