The Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ) has recalled several food items sold in grocery stores across Quebec that could pose serious health and safety risks to Quebec consumers.

The grocery items are being recalled for reasons including undeclared ingredients, microbial contamination and the presence of extraneous materials such as metal.

Grocery stores including IGA, Metro, Sami Fruits, Adonis and several local butcher shops and fish markets have sold food items that are part of the province-wide recall. It is important to verify if you have any of the recalled foods, and to not consume, sell, distribute or use any recalled products.

Here are all the details regarding the nine recalled food items:
