Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have recently issued several notifications about food recalls and warnings for foods sold in Canada and you'll want to check to see if you have them in your home.
The latest food recalls in Canada are due to mould, undeclared allergens, microbial contamination in the form of listeria and other reasons according to the CFIA.
If you suspect you've fallen ill due to any foods involved in these recalls, the government advises getting in touch with a medical professional.
