Food recalls in Canada help protect consumers when food products may present health or safety risks. Recalls can occur because of undeclared allergens, bacterial contamination, foreign materials, incorrect labelling, packaging errors or other food safety concerns.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) publishes official recall warnings and food safety notices to help consumers identify affected products and take appropriate action. RecallScope brings these official notices together in one place, making it easier to understand the risks and determine whether products in your household may be affected.
