Salmonella concern prompts seasonings recall

OTTAWA – Several products containing garlic powder are being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says products, sold under the Simply Organic and Frontier brand names, were sold nationally and through Internet sales.

The agency says the Canadian recall was triggered by a recall in the United States by Frontier Co-op of Norway, Iowa.

Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can cause illness, particularly in young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
