The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is back with another round of product recalls, and you’ll want to check your fridge and pantry ASAP.
From organic carrots and frozen breaded chicken to literal bread and butter, these food recalls in Canada are raising red flags over issues like harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, undeclared allergens and foreign objects like pieces of metal.
Some of the affected products are from household brands like No Name, Great Value, PC Organics, Compliments, Janes and Saputo, plus more popular breads including Dempster’s and Harvest Gold.
A few of these recalls have ties to the ongoing Sifto salt recall, where pieces of metal were found in various salt products that were then used in the preparation of other products. This includes the ongoing bread recall and a newer breaded chicken recall noted below.
The CFIA has advised consumers to stay vigilant, check their kitchens and return or throw out any recalled products for safety.
Here are nine of the latest food recalls in Quebec and everything you need to know about the affected products.
Saputo & Baxter salted butter
Recalled products:
- Baxter Salted Butter, 454 g
- Saputo Salted Butter, 25 kg
Recall reason: Saputo Dairy Products Canada G.P. is recalling Baxter and Saputo brand salted butter sold in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec due to contamination with pieces of metal. This issue is linked to the earlier recall of Sifto salt, which the CFIA says was used in the production of these products. Consumers are advised not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected butter. You can check the CFIA recall notice for details on specific batches and UPC codes to determine if your product is affected.

The recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. The CFIA says it’s continuing its investigation to ensure the affected items are removed from the marketplace.
