The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced a recall of Compliments brand chili powder over possible salmonella contamination.
The recall came at the behest of La Cie McCormick Canada — a move that was triggered by CFIA test results.
The recall affects 55-gram bags of the powder with a best before date of May 26, 2020, and a UPC code of “0 55742 35921 3.”
