Peanuts recalled in Ontario, Quebec over possible salmonella contamination

Canadian food safety officials have issued a recall for "Roasted Lemon N’ Chilli Peanuts" produced by the brand PK, after warning that the peanuts sold in Ontario and Quebec may be contaminated with salmonella. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) advises consumers to discard the peanuts or return them to the place of purchase, as they may not appear spoiled but can still cause illness.

While healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms such as fever, headaches, and vomiting, those with weakened immune systems are at risk of contracting serious and potentially deadly infections. As of now, there have been no reported illnesses linked to the recall.
