The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded its pistachio recall due to potential salmonella contamination to include various products from Peace by Chocolate and NuttyHero. The latest recall, announced on Friday, encompasses Peace by Chocolate bars and assorted chocolates distributed nationwide, either individually or in mixed packs. The affected items consist of Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio and Kunafa Bar, The Peace Maker Specialty Bars, Trans Canada Trail — Peace Seeker, the Classic Box, the Proudly Canadian box, and an assortment of filled chocolates. Some Peace by Chocolate products may have customized labels for certain companies such as TD, Dexterra, First Onsite Property Restoration, and Tri-County Regional Centre for Education.
In addition, NuttyHero nut and seed butters, including maple cinnamon, coconut crunch, and chocolate bliss flavors, were also added to the recall list on the same day. Multiple pistachios and pistachio-related products have been recalled in Canada over the past few months.
Individuals in possession of the recalled products are advised to discard them and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms. Salmonella-contaminated food may not exhibit visible signs of spoilage but can still cause illness, with symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. Vulnerable groups like young children, expectant mothers, seniors, and individuals with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of severe health complications.
