The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled several foods sold across Canada for reasons that pose a serious risk to the health and safety of Canadian consumers.
The CFIA has pulled the recalled products from the Canadian marketplaces for issues involving undeclared ingredients, the presence of metal pieces, as well as salmonella contamination.
It's best to verify if you have any of the recalled food products. If so, the CFIA urges Canadian consumers to not sell, distribute, use, or consume the recalled foods.
