The Canadian Food Inspection Agency regularly keeps an updated list of food recalls in Canada and there have been several notifications issued recently.
In some of the recalls, the CFIA warns of undeclared allergens that can cause reactions in those with sensitivities.
For items with microbial contamination or that contain extraneous material, the agency advises to not "use, sell, serve or distribute" the affected products.
