, , , ,

One of North America’s leading dairy suppliers, Agropur, has issued a voluntary recall of various milk products manufactured in Bedford, Nova Scotia, after a consumer reported finding a glass-like material in certain products.

The recall mainly affects 2-litre cartons of Farmers brand milk, as well as Québon chocolate milk and Natrel lactose-free chocolate milk with best-before dates between March 24 and April 28.

The company says it has notified the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and that the situation is under control. It adds that it is working closely with the CFIA on next steps in accordance with existing protocols.

In a statement on its website, Agropur is asking customers to hold on to any affected products for pickup, and says a credit will be issued.

An internal investigation will determine whether additional measures are needed.

More Pizza Pops recalled due to possible contamination

More Pizza Pops recalled due to possible contamination

, ,

Do you have pizza pops in your freezer?

You should check the packaging before you eat them.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says a recall of the product has been expanded due to a possible E. coli contamination.

The original recall was of pepperoni and bacon Pizza Pops last December.

The CFIA now says the recall includes three-cheese, pepperoni, pepperoni and bacon, three-meat, and deluxe flavours.

A complete list of products, quantities, and dates affected is available on the Government of Canada’s recalls and safety alerts page.

The recall was triggered by findings by the CFIA during its investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.

The CFIA says food that is contaminated with E. coli 026 might not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick. Recalled products should not be consumed, used, sold, or distributed and should be thrown out or returned to the purchase location.

E. coli symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps, and watery or bloody diarrhea.

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider.

The CFIA is continuing their food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.

Salmonella outbreak sees pistachio products pulled off shelves in Ontario

, , , , , , ,

Pistachios sold in Ontario have come under the microscope amid an ongoing salmonella scare.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for various pistachio and pistachio-related products across the province.

According to a release from the CFIA, East India brand green pistachios, Konscious Kitchen paleo and vegan pistachio bars and raw pistachio kernels from Enayat Farms and have been recalled.

The CFIA notes that “each of those companies are responsible for some, but not necessarily all, of the recalled products.”

The food inspection agency warns the recall also impacts bulk vegan pistachios sold from May 28 to June 5, which are distributed to hotels and restaurants but not sold directly to the public.

The warning advises people not to eat, sell or distribute recalled pistachios and related products.

Salmonella poisoning can cause fever, headache, nausea and abdominal cramps in healthy individuls while young children, pregnant women, seniors and those with weakened immune systems could contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.

The latest recall comes as the CFIA continues an ongoing nationwide investigation involving an outbreak of salmonella related to pistachio products across various provinces.

Canada halts pistachio imports from Iran over salmonella outbreak

,

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has temporarily banned pistachio imports from Iran.

This decision aims to protect Canadians during a Salmonella outbreak.

The CFIA said in a statement that all pistachios and pistachio-containing products from Iran will be restricted from entering Canada.

Importers must now provide proof that their shipments do not originate from Iran. If they cannot, the shipments will either be tested for Salmonella or refused entry.

The Public Health Agency of Canada said more than 100 laboratory-confirmed Salmonella infections have been reported across the country.

The agency said several food recall notifications have been linked to pistachio kernels and products from Iran.

The CFIA said the measures will remain in place while officials continue their food safety investigation, surveillance and inspections.

The agency added that importers who fail to meet federal requirements could face enforcement actions, including monetary penalties, licence suspension or cancellation, or prosecution.
