The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public that certain sesame seeds carried by grocery stores across three provinces may be contaminated with Salmonella. The agency says people should avoid Quik Kook White Sesame Seeds, which are sold in eight-kilogram bags at various stores throughout Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. A similar warning was issued less than a month ago.
The food inspection agency is also advising people who have purchased sesame seeds on or after June 1st to contact the place they bought them and determine if their product is affected.
The concern is that food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but consuming the bacteria can cause salmonellosis, an infection with potentially deadly results.
Especially at risk are kids, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
Bags containing the seeds bear the UPC code 0 58877 16585 8 and lot codes 71131, 71141 and 71481.Source: CityNews.ca
