The CFIA says the foods contain dry powder and paste hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), ingredients which have been recalled in the U.S. and Canada by Basic Food Flavors Inc. due to salmonella contamination.

The CFIA is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to identify and remove all affected products imported into Canada from the U.S. in an ongoing food safety investigation.

These products may have been distributed nationally. The CFIA says there have been no reported illnesses in Canada associated with the consumption of these products.

Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause salmonellosis, a food borne illness.

In young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, salmonellosis may cause sometimes deadly infections. In healthy people, salmonellosis may cause short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
