Broccoli florets
A bag of Fresh Market broccoli floretsRecalls Canada
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is sounding the alarm on a batch of Mon Marché Fraîcheur broccoli florets. The brand sold at stores including Walmart, could be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.
The recall, updated November 28, 2025, affects several Eastern provinces: Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The affected product? A 907 g bag of broccoli florets, identified by UPC 6 27735 27054 8, Lot #25318 and "Best before: 2025 NO 26."
Salmonella bacteria generally leaves no visible trace — no suspicious colour, no abnormal smell. Yet it can cause serious gastrointestinal problems. Fever, headaches, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea are common symptoms.
Young children, elderly people, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems face increased risk of complications, sometimes serious, like severe arthritis that can persist long-term.
Aoun tahineh
Aoun tahinehRecalls Canada
Those fond of homemade hummus and Middle Eastern cooking should listen up.
Aoun brand tahineh has been recalled in Quebec and Ontario since November 26, 2025, as these products could be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.
Two formats are affected: 400 g and 800 g jars, both bearing lot code "2026 DE 09 0512L/THA."
Even if your tahineh shows no visible alteration or suspicious smell, it can still make you sick. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include fever, headaches, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Young children, pregnant women, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems risk serious infections.
Throw out these products or return them to the point of purchase immediately.
Ledou firm tofu
A bag of Ledou tofuMAPAQ
A batch of Ledou brand firm tofu, prepared and distributed by Produit alimentaire Qc. Meng inc., has been under a formal "do not consume" notice since November 21, 2025.
The affected product, a 500 g package bearing the date "Best before: 13DEC2025," could be contaminated with Bacillus cereus bacteria, responsible for two distinct forms of food poisoning.
This bacteria can cause:
- An emetic form, characterized by nausea and vomiting occurring between 30 minutes and 6 hours after consumption.
- A diarrheal form, appearing 8 to 16 hours later and potentially causing diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and sometimes vomiting.
- No change in appearance, texture or smell can detect the contamination. In other words: even if your tofu seems perfectly normal, it can still make you sick.
If you have it in your home, don't eat it, even in small amounts. Return it to the store where you bought it for a refund, or throw it out safely.
Ledou tofu sheets
Tofu sheets made by LedouMAPAQ
The Ledou brand returns to the list with another problematic product: tofu sheets sold in 300 g format, which have been recalled since November 14, 2025.
This time, it's for the potential presence of generic E. coli bacteria (non-pathogenic serotype). The affected lot has UPC 6 27987 42942 8 and best before date "03DEC2025."
These tofu sheets, packaged in sealed plastic bags and sold refrigerated, were offered for sale in several establishments in the Montreal region.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Even if your product seems perfectly normal, don't consume it.
Return it to the store for a refund or throw it out immediately.
Pistachios and pistachio products
A national outbreak of salmonella has been traced back to contaminated pistachios distributed in several establishments across Canada over the past few months. As of the last public health update in October, at least 155 infection cases had been confirmed, including 77 in Quebec.
In the province, many pistachio-based products have been pulled from the market as a precaution. About 220 products are affected by the recall so far.
Even without visible signs of alteration or unusual smell, consuming these pistachios can be dangerous to your health. Salmonella can cause various symptoms: fever, headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, sometimes with blood. These symptoms usually occur between 6 and 72 hours after ingestion and generally persist for 3 to 7 days. For vulnerable populations, including young children, pregnant women, elderly people or those with weakened immune systems, the infection can take a serious form, potentially fatal, and cause lasting complications like disabling arthritis.
