According to a press release, brands like Grainworks and Moulin Abénakis have both issued “Class 2” recalls on poppy seeds. As a result contaminated products under the following companies may have already reached shelves:
- Oak Manor Organic
- Sunnyside Natural Market
- Distribution Horizon Nature
- Grainworks Inc.
According to the CFIA “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 have the highest risk of contracting serious infections upon ingestion.
If you think you became sick after ingesting one of the following products, experts suggest seeing a doctor. As of now there have not been any reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.
