The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced an active recall of three types of salami sold in several provinces due to contamination with Salmonella bacteria.
Impacted Products:

These products were sold in variable sizes at deli counters and grocery stores in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. Since some salami may have been sold without coded packaging at deli counters, consumers should check with their retailer or review the above codes carefully.
What to Do:
- If you have purchased any of these salami products, verify whether your item matches the recalled codes.
- Do not consume the recalled salami.
- Dispose of any affected products immediately or return them to the place of purchase.
Health Risks:
Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming the recalled salami, seek medical attention promptly.
