what should you do?
firstly, check to see if you have the recalled products.
if you do, they should not be consumed if you are “allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction,” the notice warned.
also, do not serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products.
the items should be thrown out or returned to the store from which they were purchased.
the cfia confirmed a food safety investigation is being conducted, which may lead to the recall of other products.
