Another day, another Health Canada food recall. The federal health department and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) are currently recalling various oysters due to microbial contamination. The recall was flagged by the CFIA on September 27 and includes 12 brands of oysters — all of which are being pulled from shelves across the province.

According to Health Canada, "the affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible salmonella contamination." The recalled items were sold throughout Quebec and Ontario and "may have been distributed in other provinces and territories."
