Bornibus Brand Tahini Recalled in Canada Due to Salmonella

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and The Market Garden have issued a voluntary recall of Bornibus-brand tahini due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in animals and humans, especially those in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

Background

The recall was initiated due to a recall in another country because of Salmonella contamination.

This has been categorized as a Class II recall, meaning that the CFIA believes there is a moderate risk that consuming the affected food could lead to short-term or non-life threatening health conditions .

Distribution

The recalled product was distributed only in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
