CFIA Recalls 3 Foods Over Milk Allergens and Bacillus cereus Risk

3 articles · Updated · InsideHalton.com · Jul 18

Summary

  • Three CFIA recall notices cover hot and sour sauce, authentic pounded yam and Dollarama-sold garlic powder, expanding food safety alerts in Canada.
  • Two of the products—the hot and sour sauce and pounded yam—were pulled because they contain undeclared milk, posing a risk to people with milk allergies.
  • The garlic powder was recalled separately over Bacillus cereus contamination, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning.
  • That garlic powder is the Heavenly Spices 70-gram product previously recalled nationwide at Dollarama in a Class II event, with customers told to discard it or seek a replacement.
