The affected products came in 680-gram packages (eight 85-gram chicken patties) and can be identified by their universal product code: 0 55742 58333 5.
The CFIA classified the notice as a Class II recall, meaning “there is a moderate risk” that consuming the affected products may lead to “short-term or non-life threatening health problems.”

The issue lies in undisclosed eggs, the recall says.
No reports of any allergic reactions from consuming this product were included in the recall.
Consumers were advised not to “use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product.”
There are people allergic to eggs???
That’s hardly what I would call a compliment.
Glad to see our food oversight system, which is much stronger than the USA, working.
What came first the chicken 🐔 or the egg 🥚?
Smashed burgers. Basically burgers with anything tasty in them squeezed out.
And Poilievre and the conservatives want to eliminate food safety and oversight! Can you speak?!
