The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says certain Whole Foods Market guacamoles, salsas and prepared foods sold online in Ontario have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
The recall is associated with salmonella-contaminated jalapenos from Mexico that have been linked to outbreaks in the U.S., according to the agency.
Products impacted by the recall range from prepared foods such as chicken quesadillas, several types of salsas, guacamoles and pico de gallo, with the latest best-before date being Aug. 16.
“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” the recall states.
