• CFIA Issues Recall for Multiple Food Products Sold Across Canada
Canadian consumers are being urged to check their kitchens after several food products, including items sold at Costco Wholesale warehouses in Canada, were recalled due to potential safety risks.
The recall notices were issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and include frozen meals, desserts and chocolate products distributed across several provinces.
One of the recalled products is Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice, sold in packs of six (6 × 255 g) at Costco warehouses. The recall has been expanded to include additional best-before dates due to the possible presence of glass contamination.
The affected product carries Costco item number 819988 and includes best-before dates ranging from Sept. 9, 2026 to Nov. 12, 2026, as well as Nov. 24, 2026 to Dec. 22, 2026. Consumers are advised not to eat the product and to return it to Costco for a full refund.
Another recalled item sold at Costco is Delici Dubai Chocolate Mousse (6 × 76 g). The dessert may contain undeclared cashew and macadamia nuts, posing a potential allergy risk.
The product carries UPC 812190020825 and Costco item number 1990644, with best-before dates including March 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 18, 25 and 27, 2026. Customers can return the mousse to Costco warehouses for a full refund.
A third recall involves Compliments Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt (100 g), which may contain undeclared almonds. This product was distributed in several provinces including Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
Consumers are advised not to consume, sell or distribute the recalled chocolate.
The CFIA says anyone who has purchased these products should dispose of them safely or return them to the retailer.
The food recalls come amid ongoing food safety concerns in Canada, including an E. coli outbreak linked to recalled Pillsbury Pizza Pops, which has sickened 29 people nationwide, and a salmonella outbreak tied to pistachio products that has affected more than 160 Canadians.
Consumers can report food safety concerns or check updated recall notices through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
