Peanuts recalled in Ontario, Quebec over possible salmonella contamination

Canadian officials have issued a recall for roasted lemon and chilli peanuts sold by brand PK in Ontario and Quebec due to potential salmonella contamination. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has directed consumers to discard the affected peanuts or return them to the store of purchase. While salmonella-contaminated food may not appear spoiled, it can still cause illness; particularly vulnerable individuals such as those with weakened immune systems may face serious and potentially deadly infections.

No reported illnesses have been linked to the recall as of the report's publication on September 12, 2026.
