It's warning Canadians to avoid eating, selling or serving them, as the products could potentially be contaminated with salmonella — a type of bacteria that can cause some nasty symptoms like fever, diarrhea and vomiting. </p><p>With at least 33 illnesses located in Quebec and 17 hospitalizations so far, you'll definitely want to check your fridge to keep yourself and your family safe.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">Sweet Cream-brand mini pastries are being recalled in Canada due to potential salmonella contamination.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit..."><a href="https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/public-health-notice-outbreak-of-salmonella-infections-linked-to-mini-pastries-867545348.html" target="_blank">Public Health Agency of Canada</a></small></p><h3>What happened</h3><p>According to the PHAC, people began falling ill between September and December 2024. The affected people ranged in age from 3 to 88, and most cases were linked to catered events or other establishments where the pastries were served. </p><p>So far, the 61 reported illnesses include 33 in Quebec, 21 in Ontario, four in British Columbia, two in Alberta and one in New Brunswick. Of these illnesses, 17 have required hospitalization.</p><p>The federal agency also notes that some illnesses might still be unreported due to the delay in confirming salmonella cases — the reporting period can take up to 41 days.</p><h3>What you should do</h3><p>If you suspect you have these mini pastries in your home or business, the agency advises you to throw them out or return them to the store. </p><p>The recalled products include different sizes of Sweet Cream-brand mini pastries with best-before dates between June and November 2025. They were sold in Alberta, B.C., Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and possibly elsewhere in Canada, and may have been repackaged, meaning the purchased product may be missing identifying information like the brand and best-before date.</p><p>If you're not sure whether a product you've purchased is part of the recall, the PHAC suggests contacting the store where you bought it to confirm.</p><p>The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is reminding Canadians that food contaminated with salmonella can make you sick without looking or smelling spoiled. Symptoms usually show up within 6 to 72 hours after exposure and can include fever, chills, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and sudden headaches.</p><p>For those experiencing symptoms, the PHAC suggests contacting a health care provider right away. People with weakened immune systems, pregnant people, young kids and older adults are especially vulnerable to complications.</p><h3>Where to stay informed</h3><p>To keep up with this recall, you can check <a href="https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/sweet-cream-brand-mini-patisserie-recalled-due-salmonella" target="_blank">updates from the CFIA</a> and <a href="https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/public-health-notice-outbreak-of-salmonella-infections-linked-to-mini-pastries-867545348.html" target="_blank">the PHAC</a>. These agencies are actively investigating and monitoring the situation.</p><p>While most people recover from salmonella without treatment, it's essential to keep an eye out for food recalls in Canada to stay informed. Stay safe and keep an eye on what's in your pantry!</p><p></p><p><em>AI tools may have been used to support the creation or distribution of this content; however, it has been carefully edited and fact-checked by a member of MTL Blog's Editorial team.
