The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a number of recalls regarding several different chocolate brands that have been sold across Canada. Health Canada published the recalls, stating that the affected chocolates, which include Easter bunnies, are being removed from the marketplace due to undeclared ingredients.

The brands affected by the recall include Nelson's Chocofellar, Temper Chocolate, and Salento Organics. The federal health department is urging Canadian consumers to verify if they are in possession of any of the affected chocolate products.

"Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction," the Health Canada report says.

If you do have any of the recalled items, it is recommended by the CFIA and Health Canada to toss them out right away or return them to the point of purchase.
