The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says certain Whole Foods Market guacamoles, salsas and prepared foods sold online in Ontario have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
The recall is associated with salmonella-contaminated jalapenos from Mexico that have been linked to outbreaks in the U.S., according to the agency.
Products impacted by the recall range from prepared foods such as chicken quesadillas, several types of salsas, guacamoles and pico de gallo, with the latest best-before date being Aug. 16.
“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” the recall states.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Thursday that jalapeno peppers distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors, grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, were being recalled due to a salmonella outbreak in the U.S. that has spread across 27 states.
More than 300 cases have been confirmed by the CDC, resulting in 36 hospitalizations.
The list of 20 recalled foods includes diced jalapenos, rice and bean burrito, spicy roast beef sandwich, spicy pimento cheese dip and fiesta-style shrimp salad, sold at grocery stores including Walmart, Target, Trader Joe’s, Kroger and Whole Foods.
Who buys yanky poison anyway
@Anonymous – could you please elaborate on your comment re Poilievre cutting regulation of food? He’s pushed the LPC to cut taxes and other policies that increase food prices. You lost me on the cutting regulations part. Either way none of that has to do with food safety. That’s CFIA’s job.
With all these food stories in the news, will the Poilievre conservatives finally stop talking about cutting regulation of food and everything else?
This could have been avoided if the foods were irradiated.
“A safe process that exposes food to ionizing energy like gamma rays, X-rays, or electron beams to kill germs, stop spoilage, and prevent sprouting. It does not make food radioactive or change its basic taste and nutrition.”
However NIMBYs and scientifically ignorant people keep it from being used.
are you so hard up for news that you still list the Toronto firefighters extinquishing Drakes ice sculpture?
It is the responsibility of whoever is reporting a story such as this to include a photo of the packaged contaminated product in order to properly warn.
Salmonella fears? Yeah, that’s political. But hey, if businesses want to be political, we can boycott them.
