Peanut product recall spreads in Canada

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency urges consumers to check a list of products recalled because of the salmonella outbreak from tainted peanut products in the United States.

Dozens of recalled items include snack bars, bridge mix and cookies from varied companies including Atkins, Compliments, Herbal Magic, Safeway, President's Choice and Traditions.

A complete list can be found at the CFIA website -- http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/toce.shtml.

The agency said items on the list may contain peanut products that were recalled in the United States and Canada by Peanut Corp. of America, whose Georgia plant is the focus of a salmonella contamination probe. At least 529 people in the United States have been sickened and at least eight may have died because of the outbreak that has led to the recall of more than 430 products.

For a list of all recalled and affected U.S. products, go to fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.

A number of pet treats or dog biscuits have also been voluntarily recalled in Canada and the U. S. as a precaution during the past 10 days.

But you won't find that list

on the CFIA website. For that list, you will have to go to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration website to find the list of recalled pet products and then to individual company sites to determine if those products were sold in Canada.

CFIA spokesman Tim O'Connor said the pet products are manufactured in the U. S., so Canadian consumers should go to the FDA website to get their information.

But he said once recalls are initiated by manufacturers, any retailers in Canada that carry those pet treats are certainly encouraged to pull them off their shelves.

PetSmart removed products from its shelves voluntarily.

PetSmart spokeswoman Jennifer Simmons said Saturday "we decided to do this on our own as a precautionary measure ... just to make sure everything we have is good to go."

At least 529 people in the U.S. have been sickened and at least eight may have died because of the outbreak. No illnesses in Canada have been reported but a Canadian did become ill after consuming a product bought in the U.S. while traveling there.

We don't eat peanut butter in our home, but the amount of food being recalled is absolutely insane.
