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.

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.

“Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased,” the agency said in a statement.

As of Sunday, the recall list included 11 products sold nationally and online. The full list can be found by clicking here.

Officials said food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.

Young children, pregnant individuals, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.

Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.

Do Not Plant Unsolicited Seeds

, , ,

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is investigating after a number of residents reported receiving unsolicited packages of seeds.

A call to the CKDR Newsroom from a resident in Dinorwic claims they received a package of the seeds themselves.

The CFIA is urging recipients to not plant them as they could be invasive plants, or carry plant pests, which can be harmful when introduced into Canada.

They say these species can invade agricultural and natural areas, causing serious damage to our plant resources.

If you receive a package of seeds that you did not order, keep them with the packaging and contact your regional CFIA office immediately.

The number to contact the CFIA in Thunder Bay is 807-683-4376.
