The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recently shared multiple recall notices for foods sold in Quebec, including popular products like burrata cheese, Haribo gummy candies and tons of frozen waffles and pancakes.

These recalls, affecting everything from frozen foods to packaged goods and even deli meats, are due to various safety concerns — including potential listeria and E. coli contamination and even foreign objects like insects and pieces of wood.

In case you missed it last week, this round of recalls also includes the huge recall of frozen waffles sold by major Canadian retailers like Walmart, Provigo and Metro due to possible listeria contamination. That recall has also since been expanded to include even more brands, flavours and sizes, as well as various frozen pancakes.

The CFIA urges Canadians to check their kitchens for any of these recalled products and to either throw them out or return them to the store where they were bought. Here’s a rundown of six of the latest food items being recalled in Quebec and why they’re being flagged.

Various brands of frozen waffles and pancakes
