There have been several recall and safety alerts issued for food products sold in the country recently, according to Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
For the latest round of recalls, the CFIA warns that the items may have pieces of metal, microbial contamination, undeclared allergens or other issues that render them unsafe for consumption.
In all cases, the government agency advises that you do not "serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products."
