Several foods are being recalled in Canada including shrimp, jerky & more pastries

Shrimp

Recalled product: Ocean Mama Seafood Easy Peel, Deveined, Shell On Raw Shrimp 26/30, 907 g — Ref No.: F 10/ 1464

Recall reason: Frobisher International Enterprises is recalling a batch of Ocean Mama Seafood-brand raw shrimp due to the presence of 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone — a chemical not permitted in food. The affected shrimp was stocked at stores in Alberta and British Columbia. While this recall is classified as Class 3 (lower risk), the CFIA advises not to use or serve the product. If you've got this shrimp at home, it's best to toss it or return it to where you bought it.

Jerky

Recalled product: Glenwood Teriyaki Beef Jerky Slab, 12 x 45 g — lot code D31724

Recall reason: Glenwood Snacks, LLC. is recalling a batch of beef jerky due to the detection of chloramphenicol — an antibiotic that isn't allowed in food sold in Canada. This jerky was stocked in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan, and is being pulled from both retail stores and food service settings. The CFIA classifies this as a Class 3 recall, but you're still advised to steer clear. If you have jerky from this batch at home, the safest move is to throw it out or bring it back to the store.

Burger sauce

Recalled product: Hellmann's Classic Burger Sauce, 325 mL — lot code 20250903GF

Recall reason: Unilever Canada is recalling a batch of this burger sauce due to bloating and spoilage issues. The affected sauce, which is stocked nationally, may be unsafe to eat even if it looks and smells normal. Bloating in sealed food containers is often a sign of spoilage or bacterial activity, so the CFIA recommends not using any recalled bottles. If this burger sauce is sitting in your fridge, it's best to toss it or take it back to the store.

Tahini

Recalled product: Al Kanater Tahini, 908 g — lot code T40907

Recall reason: Al Kanater is recalling a specific lot of tahini due to possible salmonella contamination. This comes just two weeks after a previous recall of another batch of the same product for the same issue. The affected tahini was sold in Alberta and should not be consumed, even if it looks or smells fine. Salmonella can cause serious illness — especially in kids, older adults, pregnant people and those with weakened immune systems. If you've got this at home, toss it or return it to the store.

Eclairs

Recalled product: Poppies Mini Éclairs, 455 g — lot code L1L4024

Recall reason: Poppies Bakeries LLC is recalling a batch of its Mini Éclairs after generic E. coli was detected during testing. While this strain isn't known to cause illness, it's an indicator used by the CFIA to assess general sanitation throughout the production chain. The affected product was sold in British Columbia and Ontario, and consumers are being told not to eat the recalled éclairs and to throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased.

This recall affects products stocked in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, and follows a similar recall issued just days earlier for the same items under their Dutch labels in Nova Scotia and Ontario. The CFIA recommends not eating the recalled condiments — if you've got any of these jars at home, it's safest to throw them out or return them to the store.

More shrimp

Recalled products:

• Blue Harbour Raw White Shrimp, 454 g — lot code WO41362A
• Blue Harbour Raw White Shrimp, 454 g — lot code WO41344B
• unbranded Raw P&D Tail-On White Shrimp 26/30, 20 lbs (4 x 5) — best by Jul 18 2026

Recall reason: Seven Seas Fish Co. is recalling a few lots of Blue Harbour-brand and unbranded raw white shrimp because they contain sulphites that aren't declared on the label. This is a Class 1 recall — the most serious type — and affects products stocked in B.C. Sulphites can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially those with asthma. If you have a sulphite allergy or aren't sure, steer clear of these shrimp and either throw them out or return them to the store where you got them.
