What consumers should know

We encourage all consumers, no matter where they live, to check the recall notice carefully and compare the product details to what they have at home.

Consumers can periodically check to see if they have recalled products by looking for the specific brand, product name and size, UPC and codes in the recall notification. If the product does not match what is presented on the product table, the product is not part of the recall.

Do not consume recalled products. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the recalled products are advised to contact their retailer. Consumers are also encouraged to sign up for food recall notifications.

If you think you became ill after consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Learn more about the health risks.

What is being done

The CFIA's food safety investigation is ongoing. If additional products on the Canadian market are determined to be affected, the CFIA will publish recall information on the Recalls and safety alerts website and issue food recall warnings when required.

If the CFIA determines that a food product should be recalled because it poses a health risk, the CFIA requests that the company (now referred to as the recalling firm) initiate a voluntary recall. The recalling firm is responsible for contacting all of its clients (for example, distributors or retailers) that have or may have received the recalled food. The CFIA's role is to oversee the implementation of the recall, provide guidance and verify that industry has effectively removed recalled food from the marketplace. The CFIA conducts effectiveness checks to verify that recalled products have been effectively removed from the marketplace. The CFIA will continue to monitor and assess this work to protect Canadians.

To further protect Canadians, the CFIA has announced temporary restrictions on imports of pistachios and pistachio-containing products from Iran. More details are available in the news release: Protecting Canadians during Salmonella outbreak: Canadian Food Inspection Agency temporarily bans imported pistachio products from Iran.

Some provinces and territories may carry out their own food safety investigations and issue additional recall notices. For example, Quebec's food safety authority, the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ), has issued several recall warnings (French only) for pistachios and pistachio-containing products.

Additional information

Food safety investigations are complex and involve several essential steps to determine if a food recall is required and what products to recall. When dealing with potentially unsafe food, the CFIA acts as quickly as possible to collect information and make decisions.
