Recalled Spices in Canada
The recall concerns Salem Foods brand spices, including Cookies Spices, Ground Cardamom, and Spearmint. According to the CFIA, “the affected products are being recalled from the marketplace because they may contain wheat, sesame and mustard which are not declared on the label.”
As this is a Class 1 recall, “there is a high risk that consuming the food may lead to serious health problems or death.”
Consumers are asked to not consume the recalled products that they are allergic or sensitive to as they can cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. For those with celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders, they are also asked to not consume the recalled products. Likewise, do not serve, use, sell or distribute the products either.
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
