Whether you're prepping for a weeknight dinner or just grabbing a quick snack, it's worth checking to see if any of your recent purchases are on the chopping block. These CFIA recalls include items sold at major retailers, and the reasons range from undeclared allergens to potential contamination and even packaging issues.
Some of the bigger names in this product recall wave include PC Blue Menu and Foodland, but they're not the only ones. So if you've stocked up on chicken, beef, fish or packaged dips lately, now's a good time to double-check those labels.
Here's what to know about seven of the latest food recalls in Canada — including which products are affected, why they're being pulled off shelves and what to do if you've got any of them at home.

Recall reason: Habibi's Mediterranean Foods Ltd. is recalling several of its dips, including various hummus flavours and baba ganoush, due to undeclared peanut. These products were sold in Alberta, B.C. and possibly other provinces and territories.
The CFIA says the recall was triggered by test results, and there have been reported allergic reactions. If you have a peanut allergy, do not eat these dips — even a small amount could cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. Instead, throw them out or return them to the store where you got them.

Almond butter cups
Eatlove Organic Almond Butter Cup.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Recalled product: Eatlove Organic Almond Butter Cup, 51 g
Recall reason: Eatlove is recalling another batch of these chocolate almond butter cups due to undeclared peanut. This recall affects products sold across Canada, including online. This follows a recent recall for the same Eatlove product that specified one affected lot — now, the new recall applies to all codes where peanut isn't listed on the label.
The CFIA says the issue was found through testing, and while no allergic reactions have been reported, people with a peanut allergy should avoid eating this product as it could cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. If you have it at home, return it to the store or throw it out.

Soy sauce
HO-YA Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce.
Recalled product: HO-YA Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce, 2 x 900 ml — best before June 6, 2025
Recall reason: Ran Foods Inc. is recalling a lot of its HO-YA-brand soy sauce due to a quality issue that's causing the lids to burst. The affected bottles were sold in Alberta and could spoil over time, though the CFIA notes there's no harmful health risk linked to this recall. Still, you probably don't want exploding soy sauce in your kitchen, so if you have this product, it's best to return it to the store or safely throw it out.

Basa fillets
Recalled product: Thalassa Basa Fillets IQF, 454 g — best before 06/05/2026
Recall reason: Distribution MFG Inc. is recalling a specific lot of Thalassa-brand basa fillets due to the presence of 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone, a chemical compound not permitted in food. The affected product was sold in Quebec.
While the CFIA hasn't flagged this as a high-risk health issue, it's still not something you want in your meals. If you've got these fish fillets at home, it's best to return them to the store or throw them out to be safe.

Chicken sausage
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Recalled product: Legends Haul Chicken Pesto Parm Sausage, 344 g — code PKD24DE12
Recall reason: Legends Haul is recalling a specific lot of its Chicken Pesto Parm Sausage sold in B.C. because it contains wheat and gluten that aren't declared on the label, which advertises the product as gluten-free. The CFIA says the recall was triggered by test results.While no reactions have been reported, people with a wheat allergy, celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid eating this sausage, as it could cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. If this sausage is in your fridge, return it to the store or throw it out.

Chicken tikka masala
PC Blue Menu Chicken Tikka Masala
PC Blue Menu
Recalled product: PC Blue Menu Chicken Tikka Masala, 350 g — code 2025 NO 12
Recall reason: Loblaw Companies Limited is recalling a lot of its PC Blue Menu-brand Chicken Tikka Masala due to undeclared almond. This frozen meal was sold across Canada, and while there have been no reported reactions, it could pose a serious risk to anyone with a tree nut allergy. If you're allergic to almonds, skip this meal — even a small amount could be dangerous. Check your freezer, and if you have it, return it to the store or throw it out.

Ground beef
Recalled products:
- Fresh Lean Ground Beef, variable size (~500 g) — packaged on February 25, 2025, best before February 26, 2025
- Fresh Lean Ground Beef - Family Size, variable size (~1 kg) — packaged on February 25, 2025, best before February 26, 2025
Recall reason: K-Tilbury Food Market Ltd. is recalling certain packages of Fresh Lean Ground Beef sold at the Foodland at 15 Queen St. S. in Tilbury, Ontario, because they may contain pieces of plastic. The CFIA says this could pose a choking hazard or cause injury if consumed — and who wants pieces of plastic in their food? No injuries have been reported, but if you bought ground beef there late last month, check your freezer. If you spot the affected lot, don't take any chances — return it to the store or throw it out.
