Some products are being pulled due to undeclared allergens, others because of contamination risks like salmonella and hazards like unexpected pieces of bone.
Plus, big-name brands like Swiss Chalet are caught up in this product recall wave, making it more important than ever to double-check what's lurking in your kitchen.
Here's what you need to know about six of the latest CFIA recalls, including which products are affected, the reasons behind the recalls and the steps you need to take to keep your household safe.

Date squares
Palm Bites Original Date Squares
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Recalled products:
- Palm Bites Original Date Square, 3 squares
- Palm Bites Chocolate Date Square, 3 squares
Recall reason: Palm Bites Canada is recalling certain lots of its date squares due to possible salmonella contamination. This recall is linked to last month's tahini recall, as tahini is one of the ingredients used in these snacks. The affected date squares were sold in Ontario and online, so they may have reached other provinces and territories.
No illnesses have been reported so far, but salmonella can cause serious symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea — especially for young children, older adults, pregnant people and those with weakened immune systems. If you have these products, throw them out or return them to the store.
