Eggs are being recalled in Canada because of a salmonella risk

You might want to check your fridge. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a food recall for several brands of shell eggs. This voluntary recall of packages containing 12 to 30 eggs is due to potential Salmonella contamination, which can pose serious health risks.

This government advisory, issued on January 18, 2025, applies to products distributed primarily in Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba. However, it also states that the eggs may have been distributed in other provinces and territories.

The recall involves multiple brands of eggs. Below is the list of affected products, their sizes, lot codes, and UPCs:

If you have any of these products, do not consume or serve them. The CFIA advises that recalled products should be disposed of immediately or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

"Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis," the CFIA says.
