The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded its recall of pistachios due to potential salmonella contamination, now including various products from Peace by Chocolate and NuttyHero. The recent recall, issued on Friday, encompasses Peace by Chocolate bars and assorted chocolates distributed nationwide, either as standalone items or part of assorted packs. Among the affected products are Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio and Kunafa Bar, The Peace Maker Specialty Bars, Trans Canada Trail — Peace Seeker, the Classic Box, the Proudly Canadian box, and assorted filled chocolates. Certain Peace by Chocolate items may have custom labels for companies like TD, Dexterra, First Onsite Property Restoration, and Tri-County Regional Centre for Education.
NuttyHero nut and seed butters, such as maple cinnamon, coconut crunch, and chocolate bliss flavors, were also added to the recall list by the food inspection agency. Numerous pistachios and pistachio-containing products have been recalled across Canada in recent months. Individuals in possession of recalled items are advised to dispose of them and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms of illness.
Salmonella-contaminated food may not exhibit obvious signs of spoilage but can cause illness. Symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Vulnerable populations, including young children, pregnant women, seniors, and individuals with weakened immune systems, are at higher risk of severe illness.
