It seems as if Health Canada is working overtime flagging down countless questionable foods sold throughout the country.
While bagged salad kits, several chocolate brands, and even smoothie products have all been recalled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, it seems as if there are more food recalls being added to the list.
Health Canada has officially pulled seven of these food items from the market due to the discovery of possible norovirus, salmonella and undeclared ingredients — so it’s best to check your fridge and pantry ASAP to see if you’ve got any of ’em in there.

Health Canada is currently removing all affected products from the marketplace due to the possible Norovirus contamination. The recalled products were sold in British Columbia and Ontario and may have been distributed in other provinces and territories, Health Canada said.
“People with norovirus illness usually develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start as early as 12 hours after exposure. The illness often begins suddenly,” Health Canada stated. “The main symptoms of norovirus illness are diarrhea, vomiting (children usually experience more vomiting than adults), nausea and stomach cramps.”
