The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded its recall of pistachios due to potential salmonella contamination by including various Peace by Chocolate and NuttyHero products. The recent recall announcement, issued on Friday, encompasses Peace by Chocolate bars and assorted chocolates distributed nationwide, either individually or as part of a mixed pack. Among the affected items are 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 assorted filled chocolates. Some Peace by Chocolate products may have custom labeling for entities such as TD, Dexterra, First Onsite Property Restoration, and Tri-County Regional Centre for Education.
Additionally, the recall now includes NuttyHero nut and seed butters in flavors like maple cinnamon, coconut crunch, and chocolate bliss. Over the past few months, numerous pistachios and pistachio-containing products have been recalled across Canada.
Consumers who suspect they possess recalled products should discard them and seek medical advice if they experience any symptoms. Salmonella-contaminated food may not exhibit visual or olfactory signs of spoilage but can still cause illness, manifesting as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Vulnerable groups like young children, pregnant women, seniors, and individuals with compromised immune systems are particularly susceptible to severe complications. For a comprehensive listing of recalled items, individuals can visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s recall website and search for “pistachio.”
