Jimel's Bakery Goods Are Being Recalled Due To Salmonella 'From Rodent Infestation'

Check your cupboards, Manitobans! The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a Jimel's Bakery recall due to "possible salmonella contamination from rodent infestation."

In a notice on Friday, March 25, the agency confirmed that multiple baked goods that were sold in Manitoba are impacted.

The types of items listed in the recall include things like chicken empanadas, pork empanadas, Spanish bread, puto pao and pinagong, among many others.

The CFIA says consumers should check for the products immediately and not consume them.

It also warns that if you think you became sick from consuming the impacted bakery items, you should call your doctor ASAP.

"Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased," it advises.

The warning adds, "Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick."

Symptoms in healthy people may include fever, headaches, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

"Long-term complications may include severe arthritis," the notice adds.

The CFIA says it's now conducting a food safety investigation, which could lead to additional recalls. It is also working to remove the affected products from the marketplace.

It's not the only recall to mention salmonella contamination related to rodents recently.

Back in January, the agency issued a recall for a variety of products distributed by Bistak Enterprises and Bistak Groceries due to possible salmonella contamination from a rodent infestation.
