Canada Recalls Products over Salmonella Contamination

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled products manufactured in Canada, after it emerged they contained recalled hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) from a salmonella-tainted facility in the US.

The recalled products are ready-to-eat snack products such as chips and dips, which include HVP, a common flavour enhancer.

The list includes two products that were made in the US and distributed in Canada.

HVP manufactured by Basic Food Flavors was recalled last week when the company learned the ingredient could be contaminated with salmonella.

The FDA’s recall list has expanded to include more than 100 items.
