Health Canada has recalled an additional five grocery items for reasons such as the presence of generic E. coli, undeclared ingredients and pieces of bone. The CFIA and Health Canada are removing the affected products from shelves across Quebec and urge the public to not consume, sell, distribute or serve the recalled items. You can also choose to return the affected product at the point of purchase or dispose of it in the trash.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recently issued several notifications for food recalls, so it might be a good time to take a look through your pantry and fridge to keep you and your family safe. According to the government agency, some of the newest recalls may have microbial contamination in the form of listeria and E.coli while another has extraneous material in the form of bone.
