Health Canada has just issued a slew of recalls on a variety of grocery products, so you should definitely double-check to make sure you don't own any items on this list because if you do, you'll want to proceed with caution!
Canadians are advised to stop using these six products and to either safely dispose of them, return them to the place where they were purchased or contact the company for a refund.
Tahineh
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
On December 18, Phoenicia Group recalled Aoun brand Tahineh from the marketplace due to potential salmonella contamination.
The affected products were sold in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, but potentially in other provinces and territories as well.
If you think you've become sick from eating the product, Health Canada advises you to contact your doctor.
It also advises that contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but could still make you sick with short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Frozen corn
Also on December 18, Fraser Valley Meats brand Whole Kernel Corn (frozen) was also recalled due to salmonella.

Dream Pops Bites
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
On December 17, UNFI Canada recalled Dream Pops brand Bites because they may contain milk that was not declared on the label, which could be an allergen.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Also on December 17, Sera brand Kabak Dolmasi was recalled due to undeclared cashew.
