Nut Mixes Recalled in Ontario Over Salmonella Risk
20 Dec
Summary
- Two nut products recalled in Ontario due to possible salmonella contamination.
- The affected products were sold between November 1 and December 2.
- No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are urged to return or discard them.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced a recall for two popular nut products sold in Ontario. The affected items, Arnie's All Natural Raw Mix Nuts and Arnie's Sweet and Savoury Mix, were sold between November 1 and December 2, impacting consumers in Barrie, Brampton, and Vaughan.
The recall was initiated following standard inspection activities, which detected a possible salmonella contamination. While the CFIA has received no reports of individuals falling ill from these products, the agency emphasizes the serious health risks associated with salmonella. Consumers are strongly advised to avoid eating the recalled nut mixes.
To ensure public safety, affected consumers should either discard the products or return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund. The CFIA warns that salmonella contamination may not be detectable by sight or smell, posing a particular risk to vulnerable populations, including young children, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
