This marks the fourth release of frozen waffle recalls due to potential listeria contamination since October 21 — although the recalling firm for this particular brand of waffles differs from those of the earlier recalls. While it's unclear whether these incidents are connected, they highlight the importance of being vigilant about food safety.
The CFIA advises consumers to check their kitchens for these recalled products and either dispose of them or return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund or exchange.
Here's a closer look at which products are affected and why they've been pulled from shelves.

Country Traditions Homestyle Waffles
Country Traditions frozen waffles are being recalled in Canada.
Recalled products: Haribo Tangfastics (gummy candies), 175 g — best before June 25, 2025
Recall reason: Country Traditions Frozen Food Outlet is recalling Homestyle Waffles sold in Ontario due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. As of now, there have been no reported illnesses tied to this product, but consumers are urged to check their freezers and dispose of or return any recalled waffles to the store of purchase. The CFIA notes that even if food contaminated with listeria appears normal, it can still be harmful, especially for pregnant women, older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
This latest frozen waffle recall, originally published on October 28, marks the fourth listeria-related recall involving frozen waffles in just over a week — although the recalling firms are not all the same. On October 21, the first frozen waffle recall involving 27 products sold under five different grocery chain house labels was released by TreeHouse Foods. The next day, TreeHouse Foods expanded its recall to cover 28 more products and five additional brands. Then, on October 25, Horizon Distributors Ltd issued a recall for certain 365 Whole Foods Market brand waffles.
