Chocolate lovers are being advised to check their cupboards following a recall of a pistachio-flavoured chocolate that was sold in Ontario and across Canada due to a salmonella risk.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Oasis Treasures brand Pistachio Dubai Chocolate.
The chocolate was manufactured by Palm Bites Canada and is sold through Showcase stores.
“The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Salmonella contamination,” the CFIA said in a statement on its website.
The agency said the recall was triggered by test results and there have been no reported illnesses associated with the chocolate so far.
Showcase has stores across Canada, including dozens in Ontario and around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
The CFIA says the chocolateshould be thrown out or returned to the location where it was purchased.
The agency is conducting an investigation and is also ensuring that all the products are removed from stores.
