Canada updates microgreens recall

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has updated a recall of microgreens products from Greenbelt Greenhouse with new “best before” dates that suggest consumers might still have the products in their refrigerators.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has updated a recall of microgreens products from Greenbelt Greenhouse with new “best before” dates that suggest consumers might still have the products in their refrigerators.

The original Canadian recall for all Greenbelt Microgreens’ products, for possible Listeria Monocytogenes was for items with “best before” dates of April 26 and April 30. An updated recall notice on the Canadian Food Inspection on April 30 adds May 3 “best before” dates to the list of 19 recalled products.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration on April 25 recalled seven Greenbelt Microgreens products with “best before” dates of April 24 and April 30. They were shipped from from April 11 to April Greenbelt Greenhouse’s distribution in the U.S. was apparently limited to Whole Foods stores in Washington. The CFIA’s April 30 update does not affect the U.S. recall.

No illnesses have been reported in Canada or the U.S. in connection with the recalls.
