Recall of many baked goods, “rodent infestation” to blame

Canadian brand Jimel’s Bakery has recalled more than a dozen products after possible salmonella contamination caused by a rodent infestation. The products were sold in Manitoba until March 22. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems can get a serious infection from salmonella.

Jimel’s Bakery issued the recall on March 25. The recall involves 17 baked goods sold at Jimel’s Bakery, including Chicken Steamed Buns, Rice Cake, Chicken Empanada, Kutsinta, White Bread, Buns, coconut, Pinagog, Spanish bread and Puto Pao. . The recall also affects other products purchased at Jimel’s Bakery store on Bannatyne Avenue in Winnipeg until March 22.

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the issue was discovered after Jimel’s Bakery received a consumer complaint, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Illnesses have also been reported that may be linked to the problem. Meanwhile, the CFIA is investigating and may recall other products in the future. The agency is now in the process of removing the affected products from the market.

Jimel’s Bakery has not commented on the situation, notes Radio-Canada News. According to a March 30 statement on his Facebook page, the Bannatyne Avenue location is closed for renovations. The message does not mention the callback.

The CFIA notes that consumers should not eat the recalled products if they still have them. They should be discarded or returned to where they were purchased. Products contaminated with Salmonella may not smell bad or look bad, but they can still cause illness. “Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems can get serious and sometimes fatal infections,” the CFIA notes. “Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.”

Salmonella-related recalls are also common in the United States. Earlier this month, Liberty Fruit Company recalled packages of fruit mixes after learning the cantaloupe may have been contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled fruit packs were sold in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Italian company Ferrero has also recalled Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs sold across Europe due to salmonella contamination.
