Look out, Canada! The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has just flagged a fresh wave of product recalls, and it's a mixed bag of popular pantry items, fridge staples and easy go-to meals.
From more ground beef and tahini to instant noodles and chocolate bars, these food recalls in Canada are hitting all the aisles.
Some of the products might seem harmless at first glance, but the reasons they're being pulled — like undeclared allergens, E. coli contamination and even bits of stone — definitely aren't.
These CFIA recalls involve products sold under big-name brands and smaller labels alike, with items stocked at national retailers across the country. And while not every recall poses an immediate health risk, some could lead to serious reactions if you've got food allergies — especially to things like peanuts or shellfish.
So if your cart's had hummus, noodles or chocolate in it recently, it's time for a second look. We've broken down six of the latest food recalls in Canada, including which items are affected, why they were recalled and what to do if they ended up in your kitchen.

- Save on Foods Masala Hummus, variable size (~250-300 g)
- Save on Foods Tapenade Hummus, variable size (~250-300 g)
Recall reason: Pattison Food Group Ltd. is recalling several deli-fresh hummus varieties sold under the Buy-Low Foods, Nesters Market and Save-on-Foods brands, due to undeclared peanut. The products were sold in variable weights in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Yukon and carry best-before dates from March 30 to April 9, 2025.
The CFIA notes that this recall is linked to an earlier recall of tahini, which may have been used in this hummus. The issue was flagged during CFIA testing, and while no allergic reactions have been reported so far, the risk is serious for anyone with a peanut allergy. If you've got any of these in your fridge, don't eat them — either throw them out or return them to the store.

Chocolate
Tony's Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt, 180 g.
Recalled products:
- Tony's Chocolonely Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt, 180 g — lot code Mar / 02 / 2026 L162697
- Tony's Chocolonely Everything Bar, 180 g — lot code Nov / 27 / 2025 L4332
Recall reason: C. B. Powell Limited is recalling two flavours of Tony's Chocolonely chocolate bars due to the "presence of stones." These treats were sold across Canada, and biting into a bar with foreign objects like this could cause dental damage or other harm — not to mention it's just plain gross. If you've picked up either bar recently, it's best to skip the snack and return it or toss it.

Tahini
Greenworld Fine Foods Tahini-Rashi, 908 g
Greenworld Fine Foods
Recalled product: Greenworld Fine Foods Tahini-Rashi, 908 g — lot code 231016
Recall reason: Greenworld Food Express Inc. is recalling a specific lot of its Tahini-Rashi because it may contain undeclared peanut. The recall affects 908 g jars sold in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Since the label doesn't mention peanut, this could be dangerous for anyone with an allergy. If you have this tahini at home — especially if you or someone in your household has a peanut allergy — it's safest to return it or throw it out.

Ground beef
Aladdin Foods Lean Ground Beef.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Recalled product: Aladdin Foods Lean Ground Beef, variable size — best before February 28, 2025 / packed on February 24, 2025
Recall reason: Aladdin's Food is recalling a specific lot of lean ground beef due to possible contamination with E. coli O103. The affected meat was sold at the company's store at 9A-611 Wonderland Rd. N. in London, Ontario. This follows last month's recall of ground beef sold at a Foodland in Tilbury, Ontario — although there's no indication the two are connected.
This recall was triggered by CFIA test results, and while no illnesses have been reported, E. coli can cause serious health issues. Symptoms might include nausea, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea — and in extreme cases, more severe complications, including death. If you have this ground beef in your freezer, don't take any chances — toss it or return it to the store.

These were sold in Alberta, B.C. and possibly other parts of Canada with best-before dates of March 31 and April 7, 2025. Like the other hummus recall above, this one is also linked to the Grandis tahini recall, according to the CFIA.
The recall was triggered by CFIA testing and falls under a Class 1 warning — meaning the risk is considered very high for those with peanut allergies. If you're allergic or cooking for someone who is, check your fridge and toss or return any affected products to the store where they were sold.

Instant noodles
Nissin Big Cup Noodle.
Nissin
Recalled products:
- Nissin Big Cup Noodle, 101 g — codes 2025. 5.14 and 2025. 6.19
- Nissin Big Cup Noodle Curry Flavor, 120 g — codes 2025. 4.30 and 2025. 6.14
Recall reason: Watson Enterprises Inc. is recalling two Nissin Big Cup Noodle flavours due to undeclared allergens — the original flavour contains undeclared shrimp, while the curry version contains undeclared peanut. These instant noodles were sold online and in stores across Alberta, B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
If you have a shellfish or peanut allergy, these could cause a serious reaction. Double-check your pantry for the affected products, and if you've got them, don't eat them — return them to the store or throw them out.
