On October 30, 2025, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) suspended the Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence # 6Y3BKCVG of 9136-8241 Québec Inc. (Alimentation du Canada Inc.), located in Laval, Quebec.
While the suspension is in effect, the licence holder may not conduct any activity for which SFC licence # 6Y3BKCVG was issued.
The CFIA suspended under paragraph 37 (1) of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) because a risk of injury to human health may result if the licence holder continues to conduct an activity that is identified in the licence.
A recall is associated with this suspension and the CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace: Aoun brand Pistachio Heart recalled due to Salmonella
Licence holders are responsible for ensuring that they comply with Canada's food laws. The CFIA is responsible for enforcing those laws.
The licence suspension will be lifted if the CFIA determines that corrective measures have been taken by the licence holder. If corrective action is not taken within 90 days after suspension, the CFIA may cancel the licence. The CFIA may also cancel the licence on other grounds set out in section 39 of the SFCR. Cancellation can occur after the licence holder has been notified of the grounds for cancellation and provided with an opportunity to be heard.
Safe Food for Canadians licences can be suspended:
- for failure to comply with the Safe Food for Canadians Act, the Food and Drugs Act and their related regulations;
- for default of payment of any fee related to the licence; and
- if risk of injury to the public may result from continuing to conduct the licensed activity.
The CFIA publishes licence suspensions and cancellations on its website.
