A Canadian company has recalled red chilis from Vietnam for potentially containing salmonella.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency posted the information on its website about the recall Jan. 20. Canada Herb, Etobicoke, Ontario, imported the peppers from Vina Fruits & Herb Co., Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, according to the CFIA.
The red chilis were distributed to retailers in Ontario. The packs have no lot codes. Pack dates affected are Jan. 20 and everything dated before then, according to the recall notice. The recall has been designated as a Class II, which denotes “moderate risk,” according to the CFIA.
This chilis may have also been sold in bulk or in smaller packages with or without a label and may not bear the brand or product name, according to the Canadian agency.
“Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the affected product are advised to contact their retailer,” according to the notice.
The CFIA did not report at what point in the supply chain the salmonella was detected.
