A number of food items sold across Canada have been recalled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for reasons including microbial contamination, faulty packaging and adverse health reactions.

The CFIA has published several recall warnings, urging consumers to verify if they have purchased any of the affected products by checking any recent grocery purchases or their fridge and pantry. If so, it's recommended that you do not consume, sell, or distribute the recalled items. The CFIA has stated that consumers should toss the item(s) out immediately or return them to the point of purchase.
