That outbreak involving salmonella has seen nine people sent to hospital and nearly five dozen people sickened by consuming certain brands of pistachios or pistachio-containing products, including viral Dubai brand chocolate bars.
So far, three-quarters of the people sickened in the outbreak are women, the Public Health Agency of Canada says.
PHAC says many people became sick after eating pistachios or products that contained the food, prompting the added warning that the recalled pistachios may have been used and sold in baked goods.
Canadians are advised that if they think they became sick from consuming a recalled product, they should call their health-care provider.
Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled, but can still make people sick.
People are urged to check to see if they have recalled products and to throw them out or return them to where they were purchased.
Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting and nausea, but the CFIA cautions that young children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems may contract more serious and sometimes deadly infections.
The CFIA says it’s verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.
