The HelloFRESH Toasted Brown Rice Bowl meal kit is being recalled due to a possible salmonella contamination.
The sesame seeds in the meal kits are what may be contaminated, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said. The meal kits were sold online in several provinces, including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
