OTTAWA – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) food safety investigation has identified a seasoning sold at a Saskatoon grocery store. Steep Hill Food Co-op is recalling organic garlic powder due to possible salmonella contamination.
The product was been sold from the Steep Hill Food Co-op located at 730 Broadway Avenue from Jan. 5, 2015 to March 20, 2015.
Contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
CFIA says children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
No illnesses have been reported.
Customers should check to see if you have recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store.
This recall was triggered by a recall by Frontier Co-op of Norway, Iowa. The recall by the American company was published on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website on March 16.
If other products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public and is verifying that industry is removing recalled product from the marketplace.
