Health Canada has just issued a slew of recalls on a variety of grocery products, so you should definitely double-check to make sure you don't own any items on this list, because if you do, you'll want to proceed with caution!
Canadians are advised to stop using these six products and to either safely dispose of them, return them to the place where they were purchased, or contact the company for a refund.
Tahineh
On December 18, Phoenicia Group Inc. recalled Aoun brand Tahineh from the marketplace due to potential salmonella contamination.
The affected products were Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, but potentially in other provinces and territories as well.
If you think you've become sick from eating the product, Health Canada advises you to contact your doctor.
They also advise that contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but could still make you sick with short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
